Wow!!! GRETTA ZILLER is back.... with amazing guitarist and singer DANIEL CHAMPAGNE.

ABOUT DANIEL CHAMPAGNE 
One reviewer recently wrote:
‘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 the young Australian singer, songwriter and one-of-a-kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a five-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing solo wherever he could, honing his craft and developing what would become the dynamite live show that he is 
renowned for today. At 18 he left school, turned professional and hit the road. 
The next five years saw him traversing North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand and of course, his homeland Australia, playing such festivals as California World Fest, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Vancouver and Mariposa Folk (Canada), Belgium’s Labadoux Festival and Australia’s Woodford, Falls Festival, 
Port Fairy Folk Festival and the legendary Byron Bay Bluesfest. He has toured and shared stages with Jake Shimabukuro, Jesse Cook, Roderigo Y Gabriela, Richard Shindell, The Ragbirds, The Waifs, Lucinda Williams, Judy Collins, INXS, 
John Butler, KT Tunstall and Ani DiFranco. 
As one reviewer recently wrote, “still in his early twenties, the distances he has been would be more frequently associated with veterans of the Folk scene”(The Dwarf). 
We are indeed privileged to have Daniel coming to Bittern to perform for us in the humble setting of a House Concert. 

Add GRETTA ZILLER and we have a truly dynamic event lined up. Gretta is no stranger to our Bittern audiences, so there is no need to tell you about her poetic lyrics and her powerful vocals. We are delighted to welcome Gretta back, and look forward to hearing some of our favourite ballads and some new songs destined for her next album. Gretta’s music is a lovely blend of Country, Folk and Americana, sure to stir up an emotional response in the listener… she speaks to the humanity in us all and draws on our common life experiences for her subject matter. Gretta mixes heart and humour, peace and tragedy, stories and melodies to take us on a musical journey that will linger long after the event.

AFTERNOON TEA is included in your ticket price, with Tea, Coffee & Nibbles supplied (gluten & dairy free catered for), but you are also welcome to BYO.
