Dan Challis

Fremantle-born singer/songwriter Dan Challis melds lyrically-driven acoustic folk music, with a story-telling focus. His songs centre on the lived-experience; befitting his troubadour ethos of living out the very life he tells stories about through his music. Dan has captivated audiences both here and in North America, where he spent the last 4 years up until 2020. His music has been described as "rich, authentic acoustic folk... (that) should make you feel something raw and timeless." His songs have been played on local country radio in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; namely his song ‘Whiskey & Trouble’ which reached number 7 on the top 20 on Brisbane’s 98.9fm. Dan follows the classic model of 'stomping the pavement' when it comes to getting his music out there; being known for his willingness to tour, especially in regional areas, and bring his love for his craft direct to the people; no matter what the venue, pub, club or local RSL.
