Austin,
TX-based singer/songwriter Danny Schmidt is a
writer's writer, with a lyrical depth drawing
comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, and
Dave Carter.
Sing
Out Magazine tagged Schmidt "the best new
songwriter we've heard in 15 years." Just one
man sitting alone on stage with his acoustic guitar
and his poetry, in the timeless troubadour
tradition, his musical influences draw from
deeply-rooted Appalachian mountain gospel to haunted
English balladry, from syncopated Piedmont country
blues to vagabond 60’s protest folk-stumpery. But
it all boils down to just great songwriting, in a
singular style all his own.
