Returning to the Hamner Theater’s Cabaret series on Saturday, April 11, for his second appearance at this intimate venue, will be the Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter, Danny Schmidt. He will be accompanied & supported by Carrie Elkin, also based in Austin.
Danny Schmidt, singer, songwriter, guitarist & poet, has been building an enthusiastic following while simultaneously inspiring the admiration of his fellow artists and critical acclaim from industry professionals. It’s his songwriting which won him the prestigous Kerrville New Folk award, but it’s his intense live performances that leave listeners with a sense that each of his songs is necessary, plain and simple. His guitar work is effortless and sparkling, his arrangements are fresh and unpredictable, his voice ageless. Stylistically and musically, Danny’s writing spans an impressively diverse reach, from deeply-rooted Appalachian mountain gospel to haunted English balladry, from syncopated Piedmont country blues to vagabond 60’s protest folk-stumpery. In the words of Sing Out Magazine: “He is perhaps the best new songwriter we’ve heard in the last 15 years.”
Carrie Elkin has been making quite a buzz around the Austin scene with her highly spirited and spontaneous performances, singing songs described as warm, earthy, sweet-toned and quietly offbeat. You can listen to songs from her EP, The Jeopardy of Circumstance, online at sonicbids.com.
