One of the region’s rising-est stars, Daniel James McFadyen, along with special guests, returns to one of the stages he started out on, The Carleton, on Friday, April 18th. Show time is 8 PM and tickets – while they last – are $30 + HST.

Rising indie-folk artist Daniel James McFadyen continues to evolve with his latest single, Landmine, the first release from his anticipated 2025 album. Recorded with close friends in a rented cabin on British Columbia’s Shuswap Lake, the song captures a raw, Americana-inspired sound that brings new depth to McFadyen’s work. Known for his interactive shows, McFadyen’s tours across Canada have sold out iconic venues, including Toronto’s Great Hall and Halifax’s Marquee Ballroom, drawing fans into his vivid storytelling and charismatic performances.

In 2023, McFadyen’s award-nominated EP, Songs to Show Your Friends, marked a creative leap from his “stomp and holler” folk roots to more intricate, melody-driven compositions. Produced by Montreal’s Quinn Bachand, the EP delves into themes of love, loss, adventure, and home. With Landmine setting the stage, McFadyen’s music continues to explore new sounds and stories, cementing his place in Canada’s folk and indie scenes.
