Named to the Chicago Tribune’s list of the “50 Most Significant Songwriters in the Last 50 Years”, Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter Danny Schmidt has amassed a cult following for his poetic, poignant lyrics. With a craftsmanship and emotional depth drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt, Schmidt is considered a preeminent writer. Sing Out Magazine proclaimed that: “Schmidt is a force of nature: a blue moon, a hundred-year flood, an avalanche of a singer-songwriter. His songs are a flood of poetry, mythology, folk wisdom, and surprise. He is perhaps the best new songwriter we’ve heard in the last 15 years.”
Perhaps the best new songwriter we’ve heard in the last 15 years.

Danny’s thrilled to be back in the Twin Cities. He was with beloved St Paul-based record label, Red House Records (Greg Brown, Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, etc) for almost a decade, and built a deep love of the Twin Cities during that time.
