Sounds Like: "By this point, singer/songwriter Danny Michel must be a bit weary of being ranked as one of this country's undiscovered musical treasures. But it's true" Vit Wagner THE TORONTO STAR

"Every time we hear a new Danny Michel album, we end up asking the same question: Why isn’t he rich, famous and beloved by the masses?" Darryl Sterdan THE WINNIPEG SUN

"Danny Michel has reached a point where his musical vocabulary is so broad, his songwriting/arranging chops so sharp, his guitar playing so distinctive and his taste for the right sonic touch so impeccable that he can do whatever he wants and make it compelling" Howard Druckman EYE MAGAZINE 5/5 STAR REVIEW

"He's a Canadian singer from outside Toronto. We met him when I was doing festivals, just before I got sick... and I really fell in love with his records." ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO - HARP MAGAZINE
