With a soothing voice and soulful songwriting, Daniel Lawrence Walker is tapping into genre bending music, with a mean bottleneck
slide whipping around wildly throughout his live shows.
More than just a man and his guitar, Walker writes songs with compelling themes and stories wrapped around sophisticated
progressions. Weaving intelligent lyrics through seamless
rhythms with depth, emotion, and honest feelings with which many different
audiences can connect.
With every step along his path, he has picked up a new flavor for his music. While attending college in New Orleans, he soaked in the funk and zest for life that inevitably seeps into the souls of those who live there. He pulls a slice
of Americana from his childhood and playing his first live shows in Fort
Worth, Texas. With a move to Colorado in 2004, one can hear a new
expansive sound work in its way into Walker’s songwriting. Now living in Nashville, his song craft is growing daily...
This songwriting is just one aspect of Walker’s talent. Playing both solo
and with a band presents opportunity for Walker to showcase
his abilities. When with a band, Daniel’s music is infused with contagious improvisational energy. When sharing the stage with only his guitar, Walker plays on a loop he creates on-the-spot for many songs. Walker builds his solo show around percolating acoustic guitar rhythms and soulful singing, playing slide guitar over the top.
He won the Acoustic Blues Competition at the 2004 Telluride Blues and
Brews Festival. He has made return performances in 2005, 2007 and 2008, performing solo in 2007 on Sunday’s Main Stage between Sonny Landreth and
Joan Osborne.
