Daniel Lanois
2026-08-04 19:30 - 22:00 | Meaford Hall, 12 Nelson St E, Meaford, ON, Canada
It all started on the outskirts of Berlin in a small chapel: 3 part harmony with my mates Jermaine Holmes on drums and vocals, the mighty Jim Wilson on bass and vocals, Lanois on guitar and vocals.  The chapel acoustics were such that the vocals sounded beautiful, we chose to keep our instruments quiet and let the vocals fill the night.  More to come from this dynamic configuration, by live shows and otherwise.
The more I travel, the more it all bleeds together, record making, radio, Internet, tv, festivals, life itself and of course SINGING
“The original instrument, that being the voice, is alive and well in this trio configuration.” – DL
