Daniel Lanois Live at CMW 2015

Posted on May 2, 2015 By Henry Vanderspek No Comments on Daniel Lanois Live at CMW 2015

Daniel Lanois, multi-Grammy award winning producer and talented musician, played The Horseshoe on Friday May 1st. He played standing with guitar, seated at his pedal steel guitar, and standing working his mojo at a soundboard, the latter especially for songs off his latest CD, Flesh and Machine.

A great show by a truly global Canadian artist.
