Daniel Raymond

Hello all - I hope you are beating the heat this week.  I'm writing to those of you who live in or close to Peterborough.  If so, I would love to see you at my upcoming show this THURSDAY, JULY 16 at Take Cover Books in Peterborough's East City. Show runs from 7pm to 9pm and is pay what you can. Also including performances from some of my favourite Peterborough musicians, David Tough, Matthew Holtby, Calvin Jacob (of vancamp) and Glen Caradus. The show is ‘Pay What You Can’ with the majority of the proceeds going to Kawartha Food Share and the Downie Wenjack Foundation.  Hoping to see friends old and new at the show! Spread the word.

While you're waiting, please be sure to give my newest song 'Peterborough' some spins on your favourite streaming platform - and/or watch it here: https://youtu.be/juWeME4JO_Q  If you tune into Ontario Morning on CBC radio, you might just hear it there as well if you live in the Peterborough area.

Excited to be the warm-up act on a cold February night for Craig Cardiff. Would love to see lots of your faces out there this coming Saturday, February 28 at the Biltmore Theatre. You can get tickets here: https://tickets.biltmoretheatre.com/ordertickets.asp?p=401&src=default

A bit about Craig Cardiff for my friends who don't have the good fortune of having discovered him: "Over the years, Cardiff has found himself writing songs that offer pithy little bits of hope for people to hold onto. A prolific songwriter, Craig has released 21 albums and EPs independently and has found a global online audience that has streamed his songs more than 100 million times. With a voice described as “warm, scratched, sad and sleepy,” Cardiff sings songs that expose the human condition, putting a magnifying glass to our clumsier and less proud moments. He can turn any setting into an intimate affair, infusing his music and lyrics with an uncompromising humanism."

So - break your hibernation and come out to join us. Hope to see you there!

The time is fast approaching for my re-booked show opening for The SkyDiggers.  The show is on Saturday, November 22 at the BIltmore Theatre in downtown Oshawa.  Doors open at 7pm and I will hit the stage with my band at 8 sharp.  If you had tickets for the postponed September 22 show, they will still be honoured at the door.  If you still need tickets, you can purchase them here:   https://tickets.biltmoretheatre.com/eventperformances.asp...

Hope to see you there for what I think will be a special night! 

I will be performing a 30 minute set with JG Folsky at the Biltmore Theatre in Oshawa at 330pm on Sunday, October 5 as part of the 'Hometown Sounds' event.  Presented by Crosswalk entertainment.

I will be perfoming a special evening of music with JG Folsky at Hailey's Bay Music Hall with the North Refrew Duo on one of the last warm, fall nights of 2025.

Join us in the magical mezzanine of the Biltmore Theatre on Thursday, May 30 at 7pm for an intimate night of songs and storytelling with Oshawa singer-songwriter Daniel Raymond.  Raymond will be playing all of the songs from his new EP, ‘What We Are Trying to Become’ in a stripped-down musical duo with J.G. Folsky – with a focus on describing stories about the writing and recording of each song. This will be followed by performances of a range of songs from his other releases. 

The new EP – which was recorded and produced by Ottawa’s Jim Bryson – has been receiving positive recognition since its release.  Canadian Beats states, “The EP is a testament to Raymond’s dedication to growth, both musically and lyrically. Collaborating with new musicians and producer Jim Bryson, Raymond embarked on a journey to craft a sound that resonates with hope while retaining the raw honesty of his previous works.” Cactus Cottage adds, “Daniel delivers complex feelings and insight with great musical accessibility. Sometimes things are hard, and the right artistic expression of those things makes them relatable. This EP is a road trip to find our true selves, and it's happening on a beautiful sunny day in a cherry red convertible with the top down and the wind just right.”

25% of the proceeds from the night will go to Feed the Need in Durham and the Downie-Wenjack Foundation.

This is Raymond’s 3rd solo release since 2020.  His 2020 EP ‘Soft’ garnered him a nomination for ‘Durham Song of Year’ at the Oshawa Music Awards while his 2022 album ‘Suspension’ earned him nominations for both ‘Songwriter of the Year’ and ‘Album of the Year’ at the Oshawa Music Awards.  His single ‘Waiting’ from the ‘Suspension’ album has also performed well on Spotify with over 55,000 steams since its release in 2022.
