For Immediate Release:

 

Dan Frechette and Kayla Luky.  West Canada Tour (May 18-June 2).

 

Dan Frechette and Kayla Luky are converging to traverse the great expanse of the southern Prairies this spring, bringing their folk/country/roots blend of songs and storytelling to western Canada. Joining Dan Frechette’s performances on this tour is Californian violinist/singer Laurel Thomsen.

 

Songs of struggle, growth, passion, joy, simple life and escaping the everyday confines embody the catalogs of songs from both writers. 
Their old soul songs stand the test of time and their powerful performances will soon move an audience near you.

 

Dan Frechette has performed several major folk festivals and has the distinction of performing the Winnipeg Folk Festival 5 times. His songs have been covered by The Duhks, Dervish, The Ploughboys, Emma Cloney, The Stacks among other groups. He released 10 albums in 2012 all in different genres and has spent the last five years on the road promoting his songs and ebullient personality. His abilities as an impressionist and multi-instrumentalist have impressed many a musician and audience. CBC’s Ismaila Alfa has declared “there’s no Dan Frechette song I don’t like” and CBC Radio has called Dan “one of Manitoba’s most loved entertainers.”

 

Kayla Luky grew up on a small farm in rural Manitoba, giving her country sound absolute authenticity. She has released 5 albums to date, and has toured extensively throughout Canada. Now at the age of 24, recognized for her downhome persona, unique voice, and songwriting beyond her years, her hard work ethic and DIY attitude will keep her ever present in Canadian independent music.

 

Dan Frechette has now joined forces with Californian Laurel Thomsen in the fiddle/guitar/vocals duo called Dan and Laurel. Dan and Laurel are touring extensively throughout the western U.S. and Canada and recording a “Best Of” Collection of Dan’s material as well as a new collaborative Dan and Laurel collection.

 

Kayla Luky continues to live in Grandview, a small farming community nestled between the Riding and Duck Mountains of Manitoba, while continuing to write, sing, release music and travel the road with her songs.  For more information please visit www.danfrechette.com and www.kaylaluky.ca.
