More than just a man and his guitar, Walker writes songs of love and life - with compelling themes and stories wrapped around sophisticated progressions. Weaving intelligent lyrics through seamless rhythms comes naturally for this singer/songwriter who pens songs with depth, emotion, and honest feelings with which many different audiences can connect.
It doesn’t stop there for the Texas native. 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 Denver in 2004, one can hear a new expansive sound work in its way into Walker’s songwriting.
This songwriting is just one aspect of Walker’s talent. Playing both solo and with a band presents a unique opportunity for Walker to showcase his many abilities. When taking the stage with a rotating cast of musicians. Daniel’s music is infused with contagious improvisational energy. When sharing the stage with only his instruments. Walker is a whole new monster. Playing 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.
His hard work as a musician for the past ten years was rewarded when he won the Acoustic Blues Competition at the 2004 Telluride Blues and Brews Festival. He made return performances in 2005, performing with the Sky at the Nugget Theatre in a late night juke joint show and playing solo on Sunday’s Main Stage between Sonny Landreth and Joan Osborne. He also performed as a solo act at the 2005 and 2006 South Pak Music Fests.
