About Kyle Daniel:
Firing twin barrels of classic southern rock and modern country, Kyle Daniel makes blue-collar music for rock clubs, honky-tonks and everywhere in between. At the centre
of that southern sound is a guitar hero, storyteller and songwriter who has built up his audience the old-school way – by hitting the highways year after year, playing everywhere from dive bars in Tennessee to the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, taking in key UK & European festivals along the way.
 
Kyle Daniel, a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, began playing bars before he could legally drink. Music was in his blood; his father played banjo in a local bluegrass group, and his mother played bass and piano. Daniel followed in his parents' footsteps by becoming a hotshot guitarist, winning the Kentucky Blues Challenge at 17 years of age and placing in the finals at the International Blues Challenge one year later.
 
Later, Daniel began writing songs that showcased not only his fiery fretwork but also his songwriting chops and vocals. His debut EP, Kyle Daniel, was recorded in a single day and released independently in 2018. Even without a label's help, the self-titled record found critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone praising it for mixing "the gravely twang of Steve Earle with Chris Stapleton’s range, plus bigger hooks”. After spending several years as a sideman for other artists, Daniel has finally claimed his share of the spotlight, brewing up his own melting pot of hard-hitting American roots music.
