Wow, that was incredible! Nice to see the Belize flag flying and the shout out to Canada too ❤

We've added a second matinee in Ottawa, so it’s a busy weekend. Hope you can join me :)  Feb 20 Merrickville ON Feb 21 Ottawa ON Evening / SOLD OUT Feb 21 Ottawa ON 2nd Matinee Show Added

Just finished watching Prime Minister Mark Carney’s full speech, the standing ovation, and the discussion afterward at Davos. I’m feeling incredibly proud—and, at this critical moment, even more so, incredibly lucky. “Nostalgia is not a strategy.”

Looks like Ottawa'ssold out! Luckily I’m in Merrickville the night before, which is only 1hr from Ottawa. C’mon, I’m driving six hours to get there! The venue looks gorgeous! They told me the great Colin Linden said, “It feels like playing the Ryman!" Feb 20 Merrickville ON thepews.ca

Tickets for our three-night stand at Toronto’s Rivoli are now on sale! Our first time back in TO in over five years, featuring Davide Direnzo, Mark McIntyre, and a few other likely characters.https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/danny-michel-7655742675

As we head into 2026, here are a few shows I can announce so far. Happy New Year, and thanks so much to everyone who’s been listening and showing up over the years. Looking forward to seeing you all soon — more to come!

My OA update, where I spent time with students in the wake of last year’s devastating bus accident. I also discovered that the school is now facing its biggest challenge yet: its own survival. Thanks to Adam Thompson of Tunis Shiners of Ottawa who made much of this possible. youtu.be/p2RWlMBNQ6U

This just in! Hometown show! sidedoor.link/l/8lCTLnTA9k...

I love small towns, little halls, hardware stores, and free parking! This Friday’s show checks all those boxes. I think there are still a few tickets left Oct 17 Clarksburg ON Marsh Street Centre Doors: 7:00 / Show: 8:00 sharp.

Take the three minutes. Watch the whole clip. (I should also make sure @dannymichelmusic.bsky.social sees this.)

The trio & I are hitting the stage tomorrow at the Cultivate Festival in Port Hope! 🎶 Catch me solo at 1:30 for a workshop, then the full band at 4:00 ☀️ Forecast says sunny & 23°C… and did I mention it’s on a goat farm?! 🐐 What more could you ask for?

These bad hombres rolled up to the ol’ ranch today to record/demo some new songs. We’ve been playing together as a trio for 15yrs but after i took some time off this year we’ve only got ONE show together in 2025, and it’s at the ON Cultivate Festival on Sept 28 - on a goat farm!? Don't miss out!

How I listen to music 🎵 Before canceling my streaming subscriptions (long ago) I recorded my playlists to reel-to-reel. So, this is how I use Spotify. There’s something beautiful about the inconvenience of not having everything you want, all the time. “Patience, young grasshopper.” #frankblack

The @hillsidefestival.bsky.social has changed Steve's and my life forever. As stated previously, we are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. We ask for privacy during this difficult time. #coldplaykisscam

Talking on my fancy cordless landline back in 2003 (?) at my old place on Puslinch Lake, ON. I had just signed a deal with Maple Music/Universal and released "Tales From the Invisible Man". To celebrate, I bought that badass chocolate-brown Camaro behind me. It was a good day.

Crazy weather and good times yesterday at Spy Distillery⚡️ I had never seen clouds like that before. It was right out of Ghostbusters!? And then everything cleared and the sun came out for my show ☀️ Good times. Thanks to everyone who made it possible

Terra Lightfoot and I met a really cool fan of both our music the other night at @noisemakerpresents’ show. Terra was wicked awesome, as always!

Join me as I take the 1984 Roland G-707 and GR-700 guitar synthesizer for a spin—for the very first time! It’s the musical equivalent of a DeLorean. Spoiler: I have no idea how it works, but that’s half the fun. www.instagram.com/p/DKvZF08Me_...

I had a wonderful time playing Tawse Winery this weekend with Jim Cuddy 🍷 What a beautiful venue, incredible dinner and wonderful night. Thanks to Moray for having me, Dave Hodge for the kind introduction, David for the incredible meal, Emily, Sean & Myke / Photos: Tom Oddballs Myke Phillips

Shit just got VERY real 🤯 😮 Stand by…. #rolandg707 🔥 #rolandgr700

Whoa! I was looking at a dead bug under my digital microscope, and this happened?! www.instagram.com/p/DKkMdVUgEa...

Best gig ever—helping to clean up a big ash tree, taken down because of the emerald ash borer beetle (EAB) 🪲 My job is “rudder man”, which means I get to use my favourite tool—the cant hook. There’s nothing it can’t do! #canthook #emeraldashborer

David Bowie challenging MTV on racial inequality and DEI in 1983. Aways ahead of his time, always inspiring. That camera zoom-in at the end is deadly #integrity #rolemodel #wecanbeheroesjustforoneday #getupstandup youtu.be/XZGiVzIr8Qg

In other news, I was featured on Rrampt's website today. One of the enjoyable interviews I've done. www.rrampt.com/old-cars-cha...

Thrilled to hear 4th grade students at Green School Bali/Southeast Asia are learning "Feather, Fur & Fin" to explore justice, fairness, caring for the planet — and to spark environmental activism! These are the true highlights of my time here on this planet 🌎💚 #FeatherFurAndFin #GreenSchoolBali

It was great to see Carolynn today at the Sheffield Park Black History Museum in Clarksburg, On. I was helping clean up fallen trees in time for their grand opening --> May 22. I also got a copy of her Uncle Howard’s new book, which delves into the early black settlers of Simcoe &Grey counties. <3

A few upcoming shows. Hope you're having a wonderful spring. All links at dannymichel.com :)

Great weekend with moms’ ❤️ 💐 🌼 🌺 ❤️ Love you to the moon and back 🚀 #wordtoyourmother 🎵

Profoundly relieved that @mark-carney.bsky.social is our PM, & so proud that Canada didn’t follow the U.S. down the MAGA road. Carney handled Trump exactly how I hoped—and expected—he would: calm, polite, forceful. I hope the cons recognize he is a very different person than Trudeau. #canadastrong

As Canadians do their best to buy Canadian, it's worth pointing out how much the CBC has been a constant presence throughout our entire lives. To me, Canada wouldn’t be Canada without the CBC. And I hope it never is. Don’t forget to vote tomorrow ❤ #vote #canadastrong @savethecbc.bsky.social

Honoured to be featured in the 1st issue of The Music Mag by Rrampt Magazine. Marshall Veroni approached our conversation about songwriting with such care & sincerity that I felt I could open up & share a little more than usual—for that, I’m truly grateful. Read it at www.dannymichel.com/rrampt

10/10 🪵 An amazing day pulling some downed trees up a creek. The big one is still to come. I’m the cant hook / rudder man. Now off to the mill 🪚 #heaven #happyplace #naturewins #countryliving #canthook #bestdayever

🇨🇦 These critical times call for an expert negotiator, a skilled economist, and a leader who truly loves this country — and everyone in it — equally. — Not the one who’s perpetually whining that our country is “broken.” Any other vote hands Canada over to Trump’s America.  🍁 #nobrainer #rockthevote

Happy Monday! Just wanted to let everyone know that my new single "Northern Star" is now live on all streaming platforms! You can add it to your playlists starting now. ❤ Dan lnk.to/fXwcS4LK

NEW SONG DAY! "At a time when cultural identity, sovereignty, and economic pressures are front and centre, Northern Star is a reminder that music isn’t just entertainment; it’s resistance, and a rallying cry" youtu.be/3lcCrQKBlrI?...

Had the privilege of being a judge for the Battle of the Bands at Beaver Valley Grade School again yesterday in Thornbury. It’s always such fun. The Grade 1 kids are the sweetest — they sang me my own song and made me some amazing gifts. My heart is full. #grateful

Tonight’s the last of 3 nights at the Red Bird Live🎵 Thanks for all the love Ottawa 🇨🇦 Such fun crowds! Things got crazy! I’ll be heading right home to record that new song asap. Thanks for coming along on the test drive 🍁

🇺🇦 A fresh batch of new shirts for tour tomorrow, silk-screened by this sweet family from Ukraine who are new to Canada. All my merch is made by them. If you need shirts, hats, patches, or embroidery check out JJMH embroidery in Markdale On 🇺🇦 #istandwithukrain #canadastrong #buycanadian

🌍 Happy B to Mr. Suzuki who has spent his life teaching us about the beauty of our planet, climate change and inspired me to write Feather, Fur & Fin. It was an honour to play at his 75th, join his Blue Dot tour, and be on his Playlist for the Planet. Thank you, good sir 🌎

Nothing beats sunny festival season! Thrilled to be playing @riverfestelora.bsky.social in Elora this summer.

See you tomorrow night Midland! And Aurora on Saturday w/ Drew from Kobotown! Tickets at dannymichel.com
