DMac Burns combines elements of reggae, dub, r&b, indie rock and more into heartfelt lyrically rich songs. The musical moniker of New York City-bred singer-songwriter Danny McDonald began as a solo project in an apartment in Washington Heights in 2020, but has recently become a global affair. When McDonald moved to West Cork, Ireland in 2022 he met keyboardist / dub-specialist, Matias Saldivia Comas who hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two bonded over the fact that they were city boys living in rural Ireland with a shared love for roots reggae and dub. Over the next year and a half they spent most of their time writing, recording, and refining a live set that features many styles played over a backbone of dub reggae. They can be found gigging as a two piece (looping and live dubbing bass, keys, guitar, vocals and melodica over beat samples from world class drummers) or with a full band. They are currently finishing a reggae album inspired by concepts of ancestral healing in the wake of colonialism. It features collaborations with artists from Ireland, Argentina, Jamaica, the United States and more.
