“Today I saw the future of Folk – Festival goers flocking in their thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” - The Firefly Column, USA

I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” - The Indie Blender, Canada

“reinventing roots guitar.” - Rhythms Magazine, Australia

“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once in a lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.” - BW Review, New Zealand
