Alberta’s country sensation Dan Davidson has created undeniable momentum in the last few years. With 13 CCMA nominations, 10 ACMA awards, a platinum record, a number 1 selling Canadian song and record, top 20 charting numbers and hundreds of

performances.

Dan exploded onto the country scene in 2016 with the release of his second single “Found”, which rocketed up the charts and he became the #1 charting indie artist in Canada (2017). It was also the #1 selling Canadian country song for several weeks. On just his second release ever in country music – he has a PLATINUM single.

Dan is only 7 years into his country career, but is far from “green” in the music industry. He spent over 10 years playing in the well-known Canadian indie rock band Tupelo Honey (who had several top 40 hits, top selling iTunes records and toured with bands like Bon Jovi).

One view of his music videos and you will understand that the fun, sincere energy Dan brings to country music is truly unique. The video for “Found” cost only $500 and yet somehow it was top 20 on CMT; the video for “Barn Burner” involved Dan dressing up as a mixture between John Wayne and Elton John, wandering the streets of Tokyo; and of course we cant forget “Say We Did”, which shows Dan converting his garage into a cardboard version Star Ship Enterprise.

Expanding his fan base internationally, Dan has played shows in China, France, Italy, Hungary and recently toured in Spain and Australia. He has now played over 200 shows across 8 countries (including a record-breaking 120 show tour with Brett Kissel on the most extensive tour in Canadian history).

While on tour with Brett Kissel, Dan’s EP “Juliet” was released, and debuted at #1 on the Canadian iTunes Country charts. The album was later nominated for Roots Album Of The Year at the CCMA awards that year, and was the album that won for “Producer of the Year”. This year Dan is nominated for "Producer of the Year" for his work on the top 20 hit "Wanted You To" by Hailey Benedict.

Truly embodying the indie spirit, you’ll never find Dan just waiting on his laurels. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he created and hosted Canada’s FIRST live digital music festival “Diesel Bird Fest”, which featured some of Canada’s top artists includingDallas Smith, Corb Lund, and many more. Diesel Bird successfully raised $64,000 for charity. He then went on to create and host Canada’s first hotel music festival (Diesel Bird Hotel Fest) which sold out in 1 day.

Through the pandemic Dan had kept VERY busy. Besides producing THREE top 30 singles in rock and country, he also got 2 records of material ready for release. His last release “6 Songs To Midnight” debuted at #1 on the iTunes Country charts, and in the first week was noted to have 750,000 streams in the first month.

Dan’s single “Roll With It” featuring The Road Hammers (Platinum selling, Juno/CCMA award winners), was released in Australia in 2021. On his first international release, he surprised the Canadian and Australian music industry by nearly going top 10 (peaking at #11 on the country charts). With such a huge reception in Australia, Dan has continued to make it a major focus. He has collaborated with frequent Golden Guitar winner Travis Collins, as well as Hayley Jensen and others. Recently, Dan signed his first ever record deal with ABC Records Australia. A special edition of his record “Nineteen Eighty Something” was released in Australia this April along side his new single “Won’t Forget” (Featuring platinum selling Tim Hicks.)

The future is bright for Dan, this year he is coming off the momentum of a major headline tour in Canada, the success of his recent country music documentary “Lighting Fires”, a recently penned deal with ABC Records, a new opportunity hosting mornings on Canada’s longest running country music station (CFCW) and performances in Australia, Spain, Canada and Italy. He also just had his first billboard in down town Toronto, courtesy of Amazon Music.
