	Daniel Champagne THURSDAY DECEMBER 1, 7:30PM The young Australian virtuso, recently described as 'the finest guitar player of this generation', brings his tour back to New Zealand. One reviewer recently wrote "Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical". The story goes that the young singer-songwriter and one of a kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he left school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back. The following decade has seen him release 5 studio albums, tour relentlessly around the globe with upwards of 300 shows per year, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela. Daniel is now regarded as a leading light in acoustic music, with a firm reputation for sropping jaws, making crowds buzz and breaking guitars wherever he goes! Click here for Daniel's website Listen to Supernova (Live Studio Recording) WHAT THE PRESS SAYS..

He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifelines studying the art."
