SUMMARY:Danny Michel - Live at the Conrad Centre
DESCRIPTION:The only good thing about not shopping in record stores like we used to is that you don’t have to figure out what genre to look for Danny under. If that were the case\, you could try searching under rock\, pop\, folk\, world\, or even classical. His own self-described musical A.D.D. has kept his music fresh for decades. Maybe it has something to do with being born next to a candy factory\, but his thoughtful lyrics and charming performances have earned him a devoted fan base\, multiple Juno nominations\, Polaris Prize nominations\, CBC’s Heart of Gold award\, and wins for the CFMA’s Producer of the Year and Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries awards. This is a ticketed show taking place at The Conrad Centre in Downtown Kitchener; there will be mixed seating available. There will be a cash and card bar at the venue\, along with a food menu. The space is near ION and GRT transit lines. It is an accessible venue. SCHEDULE: arrive for 7PM to grab a spot; music will start shortly thereafter! This is a show you won’t want to miss a minute of\, so we recommend arriving on time. WHAT TO BRING:Yourself and your friends — all are welcome!Cash or card to grab drinks and merch at the show!
