About Dan

Acoustic storyteller Dan Schaumann returns with his latest musical release, I Wish I Lived In Canada, available now on all major streaming platforms.

Having cut his musical teeth on the sidewalks and bars of Townsville and Brisbane, Dan followed his heart to the UK and later to Canada where he’s resided since 2013.

From lost love to found feet, toppled dreams to open doors, Dan’s attitude to life is as infectious as the songs he draws from it. His artistic creations speak of an extraordinary journey into the experiences of a contemporary traveler.

I filled my guitar with potatoes cause I wanted to hear what it would sound like. It's not a Maton any more, it's a …. Potaton 🥔🎸😆 (hello @matonguitars!)

I circumnavigated Montreal Island 150km on bike! I've recently moved here and thought this would be a great way to get to know the city.

I started in Griffintown and rode north-east along the St Lawrence River to Parc du Bout-de-l'Île, then sotuth-west along the Prairies River to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, before returning to Griffintown via the St Lawrence.

My cover of Three Sons by @johnwilliamsonmusic. John was my childhood idol and I’ve always wanted to record a song of his. I’ve had a bit of time on my hands this weekend while in quarantine and finally decided on this classic from his 1999 album, The Way It Is. It very deservedly won the Golden Guitar for Bush Ballad Of The Year back in 2000.

Patrícia ❤️

A 200km bike adventure from Toronto to Brantford I

A 200km bike adventure from Toronto to Brantford I did over the Easter weekend, along the Waterfront Trail and the Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail. I went for the very specific reason of seeing a neighbourhood in Brantford where the streets are named after Australian cities, including my home town of Townsville.

As well as the Aussie-named neighbourhood I also stopped at a bunch of other places along the ride including the Long Branch Outdoor Rifle Range, the Alexander Graham Bell Homestead and Borer's Falls.

My home town is namechecked in Brantford, Ontario!

My home town is namechecked in Brantford, Ontario!! Fun fact: the street Townsville Court branches off is Adelaide Avenue. I was born in Adelaide. How many people can say they’ve found - in a foreign country - an intersection named after their birth city & home city?

My new EP, I Wish I Lived In Canada, is finally available to stream or purchase on all major digital music platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The title track is an homage and a love song to this beautiful country I've been living in for over 7 years, which I wrote six months before I moved here; the other two tracks are acoustic storytelling songs I’m really proud of, inspired by my travels and my youth. Please give it a spin and share / follow / tell your friends / add the songs to your playlists! I hope you enjoy them.

I’m very happy to announce my new 3-track EP, I Wish I Lived In Canada, is scheduled for release on December 1st! You’ll be able to hear it on all the usual streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.

I wrote the title track back in 2013, about six months before I left Australia while I was feeling wanderlust for my upcoming adventure. It’s both an homage and a love song to this diverse & welcoming country I’ve called my home for the past 7-and-a-bit years. I’ve been humbled by encouraging feedback whenever I’ve played it to friends or at open mic nights so this year I finally decided to professionally record it - I think it’s turned out wonderfully thanks to a very talented team of musicians & producers. And how amazing is this cover art that @lixnorth put together?!

I’ll talk more about the other two tracks “Phrasebook” and “Butane” later in the week but for now I’m just excited to spread word of the release. Set your calendar reminders to give it a spin this time next week!
