South-Coast singer/songwriter Dan Challis melds lyrically-driven acoustic folk music, with a story-telling focus. His songs centre on the lived-experience, and befit his troubadour ethos; living out the very life he tells stories about through his music.
Dan has captivated audiences both here and in North America, where he spent the last 4 years up until 2020. It was there he penned the songs for his most recent body of work, ‘No Lonely Road’ (2020); his sophomore album. The music has been described as “rich, authentic acoustic folk… (that) should make you feel something raw and timeless.”
Challis speaks of the impetus behind the making of ‘No Lonely Road’; “The album represents a short but significant chapter of my journey as a songwriter. Being in North America for 4 years changed me as a person and I wanted the songs to reflect that. I look back on that time and how I captured those moments in this body of work; and how it all had such a profound impact on my life. I wouldn’t have been able to write this album without those experiences.”
Dan is based full time in Australia now, and follows the classic model of ‘stomping the pavement’ when it comes to getting his music out there; being known for his willingness to tour, especially in regional areas, and bring his love for his craft direct to the people; no matter what the venue, pub, club or local RSL. This year alone he played over 36 shows on a two-month long tour of NSW and south-east QLD, to promote the release of his latest album.
A night of acoustic folk music, by a songwriter who cares deeply about their craft.

We are very pleased to welcome Daniel back again to the Blue Mountains and after the last SOLD OUT shows we advise booking early to avoid disappointment!
The young Australian born and Nashville based virtuoso recently described as ‘the finest guitar player of his generation’ brings his world tour back home!
“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical” – themusic.com.au
The story goes that Daniel Champagne first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he left school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back.
The following years have seen him release four studio albums, tour relentlessly around the globe with upwards of 300 shows per year, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Daniel is now regarded as a leading light in acoustic music, with a firm reputation for dropping jaws, making crowds buzz and breaking guitars wherever he goes.
Do not miss this show. They have been selling out all over the world!
WHAT THE PRESS SAY…
“The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” – The Calgary Herald, CANADA
“Today I saw the future of Folk – Festival goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” – The Firefly Column, USA
“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads. Fusing the strong traditions of Blues, Folk and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. 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
“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical” – Themusic.com.au, AUSTRALIA

Seating for these concerts are still allocated.

Singing and dancing is also permitted indoors from 8th Nov.
The current settings for masks, which apply to everyone, will remain in place until the State reaches the 95 per cent double vaccination target, or 15th December, whichever happens first. This was moved from the previous 1st Dec. As this concert is now likely to be before this new target date is reached, all guests will be required to wear a face mask while entering and attending the indoor area of this venue (unless eating or drinking or able to provide proof of a medical exemption). You need to wear your face mask again when the reason for taking it off has ended. *This may change if the 95% double vaccination rate is achieved prior to 15th Dec.

While we are progressing towards some sort of “normal” sooner than expected in many regards it is unfortunate that the government has changed some of the rules to a later date. As of last week we were at 93.65% for one dose and if the 95% double vaccination target is reached before 15th December, restrictions will ease to allow anyone to attend, and masks will no longer be required.

Fusion Boutique & Niche Productions Present KIM CHURCHILL ‘I Am Forgetting The End Again’ 4th EP Launch Tour
Live in Concert at the Baroque Room, Carrington Hotel
*New Rescheduled Date – Sunday 5th December EARLY SHOW: Doors Open 3pm
LATE SHOW: Doors Open 7pm
Venue: BAROQUE ROOM 15 Katoomba St, Katoomba, NSW 2780 Blue Mountains.
– NEW ENTRY VIA THE CARRINGTON HOTEL DRIVEWAY –
Join us for an intimate show with Kim Churchill and his Cellist Joshua Luke Rea. It will be a night of storytelling, some soft moments of reflection and a deeper insight into where Kim’s songs truly come from.
Australian folk, rock, and blues singer, songwriter Kim Churchill picked up his first guitar when he was 4 years old when his father promised him a guitar if he did well in school. He was trained in classical guitar for ten years. He accompanies his guitar with blues harp (harmonica), stomp box, drums, and percussion instruments. He also plays lapsteel and tambourine.
Churchill tours extensively and has become a venue and music festival favourite.
“Opening on this night was the young, barefooted Aussie, Kim Churchill. Churchill made the most of an acoustic guitar, kick drum, pedals and a harmonica. Creating a sound I can only describe as psychedelic whale music, ocean-side blues or countrified Nick Drake. Kim Churchill. Remember that name. He’s going to impress a whole mess of people on this tour” – Vancouver Weekly
After almost four years in the making, Kim is set to release the final EP, ‘Again’, off his 4-part EP collection; ‘I Am Forgetting The End Again’. Whilst the EP was recorded on the coast of Devon in England with a large UK/EU tour planned, the need to stay landlocked to Australia for the time being has led Kim to tour Australia wide and search out brilliant and beautiful places to perform the full body of work.
Hear songs from his travels to record in Berlin, Vancouver Island, Devon and the Blue Mountains and a beautiful night of stories and sonic adventures. On many of these shows Kim and his van will be rolling into town and playing in local parks, camp grounds and the town’s favourite music venues from March until August and travelling Australia wide in search of the perfect backdrop for ‘I Am forgetting The End Again’.
