Daniel Lanois live in Brockville

Experience Daniel Lanois live on September 28th

Daniel Lanois is a Canadian record producer, guitarist, and vocalist known for his atmospheric and evocative musical style. His work blends elements of ambient, rock, blues, and folk, often characterized by spacious arrangements, textural experimentation, and a focus on mood and emotional resonance. He has produced albums for artists such as Bob Dylan, U2, Peter Gabriel, and Neil Young, earning critical acclaim and numerous Grammy Awards. As a solo artist and with his various ensembles, Lanois explores similar sonic territories through his own compositions.

The Daniel Lanois Trio features Lanois alongside percussionist/drummer Jim Blair and bassist John Whitty. Formed in the early 2000s, the Trio represents a more intimate and improvisational facet of Lanois’s musical output compared to his production work or larger band configurations. Their performances frequently incorporate extended instrumental passages and reinterpretations of songs from across Lanois’s career – including material from his solo albums *Academy* and *Goodbye to a Ghost*, as well as pieces he has produced for other artists. The trio emphasizes a live sound built around interplay between the musicians rather than strict adherence to recorded versions.
