Daniel Raymond's new 4-song EP was released on March 23, 2024 and was produced by Ottawa's Jim Bryson. Canadian Beats notes that "The EP is a testament to Raymond’s dedication to growth, both musically and lyrically...with compelling storytelling, intricate melodies, and rich instrumentation". Cactus Cottage adds "Raymond 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".

NEW 4-SONG EP

COMING IN MARCH 2024

My new 4-song E.P., 'What We're Trying to Become' will be released on March 23, 2024 - coinciding with my opening slot with Catherine MacLellan at the Greenbank Folk Society. 

Completing this project allowed me the pleasure and privilege of working with Jim Bryson / Fixed Hinge Recording - who recorded and produced 3 of the the songs - and James McKenty - who recorded the 4th track. Both of these fine gentlemen added their musical talents to the tracks they recorded as well. Excited to share with you soon.......

2023 Spotify Streaming Stats

Not too shabby for a year with only one new song release.  I've got a new project all cued up for 2024 though -so stay tuned!
Thanks to the folks who listened - and to the algorithms that I suspect do most of the work in getting my songs played.  FYI - Slovakia is my biggest area of growth this year globally?!  Theories....?

Playing for my childhood idol - mike palmateer

On Monday, October 2, I was honoured to be invited as a 'special guest' at a private luncheon featuring former Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender - and my childhood idol -  Mike Palmateer.  I was there to play my song 'Palmateer' for Mike and a room of mostly ex-NHL players.  A real honour - an extra special to have my son Simon there as well.  A deeply special and memorable experience.  This is a link to the video accompanying that song: https://youtu.be/0k1miRg_MlA
