FEATURE ARTIST
This week we featured Daniel Moir. His has just released his album Road this past week on July 9th, 2010. Check out his fantastic article in the Edmonton Journal by Sandra Sperounes. At only 20 years old, Daniel is a force to be reckoned with. In such a short time, the young singer/songwriter has already accomplished feats that outnumber his few years. Drawing inspiration from personal insight and life experience that varies from a rocky childhood to vagabonding through Europe, Daniel has created a unique blend of folk music that shines wisdom beyond his years. We featured his song Sundrunk.
We'd love to hear from you, so please twitter us, facebook us, or email us at prairiebelles@gmail.com Until next time! xo
