An Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter with an incredible national and international buzz going for him, Danny Schmidt draws frequent comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt. Praise from critics has been ecstatic: "Best new songwriter in the last 15 years" (Sing Out) "I've not felt a performance with this much intensity since I saw Neil Young solo" (The Filter) "beautifully crafted... complex beguiling words" (Q Magazine) "5 out 5 stars" (Maverick/UK) and the list goes on. Now with his Red House debut, he is poised to burst into national prominence and the promotional push on this title will be rigorous.
