Daniel Lanois
This mini-performance was part of Daniel Lanois' Keynote
Address at SXSW. He played one song on his pedal steel (Transmitter) and one
on his guitar. His Keynote opened with a spoken word performance about his musical
and personal path. Often referring to himself as "Little Danny Lanois"
he illustrated many of his musical choices and offered a glimpse into his humble,
Canadian upbringing. There is an east coast tour planned for May to support
his upcoming release "Shine" due out April 22. Check out little Danny's
