Last summer was the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. Although I was only 10 years in 1969, my lifelong belief in the power of music was established that summer. Although I have a somewhat romanticized, child’s, magical recollection of that time, the messages of equality, peace, love and respect for all in that music has shaped me for my entire life and is the reason I became a musician. Last summer, I wrote this song, wondering what happened to us after Woodstock? How did we change and where did we lose that youthful energy and enthusiasm to create a better world for everyone? I didn’t finish the song, as it really didn’t fit into any current project, but I do remember thinking, that youth movement of the sixties was a special time that has never been repeated....and then....
Seeing how the events over the past month have awakened the passion of youth around the world, delivering a renewed sense of optimism, I am hopeful that their initiative and commitment will be more sustained, universal, successful, and lay the groundwork for permanent change. 
I was re-energized and, realizing that this month is the 50th anniversary of Neil Young’s “Ohio”, I finished the bridge of the tune this week, and humbly offer it as an opportunity for my fellow “boomers” to reflect on our youthful passion, embrace this opportunity and join our children and grandchildren to commit to making this world a better place. I believed it in 1969, and I believe that the Spirit of Woodstock is still out there, Hope you get a chance to have a listen my friends, 
All the best, 
Dan

Prelude to Destiny

A blazing spitfire guitarist with a six-string wall of sound who combines traditional and modern guitar influences with unique lyrics that reflect his views on everyday life that keep audiences engaged at every band and solo show. On May 15th comes the release of Dan’s third album highlighting his versatility as a guitarist and songwriter. From straight up pop, to rock, to blues, to soulful ballads with thought provoking lyrics, to high energy humourous tunes, "Stand Back I Don't Know How Loud This Thing Gets!" delivers.
Dan Doiron has been addicted to the raw energy of the electric guitar since he formed his first band at age 13 in Port Hood, Cape Breton. In fact some people say they don't recognize him without a guitar strapped on. His unique sound reflects his diverse background in rock, blues and classical guitar.
For over 20 years he has been involved in the music industry in Atlantic Canada as a musician, music educator,(B.MUS.Ed  from Dalhousie University with a major in classical guitar), National guitar clinician and recording engineer.
In April 2011 Dan stepped out as a solo recording artist, and immediately joined the top tier of regional Guitar players, earning an ECMA nomination and Music Nova Scotia nomination for his debut CD, “Even My Guitar Is In Love With You”.
 The sophomore album, "From Deep Inside", was released in May 2013, and has been described as “A confident, smokin' set full of hot leads, a variety of styles, and best of all, lots of cliche-free originals. Doiron plays it full of energy, moving in and out of funk, rock, and scorching blues ballads.”-Bob Mersereau CBC Producer. 
This album was also nominated for a 2013 Music Nova Scotia award for Blues album of the Year, and 2014 East Coast Music Award for Blues Recording of the Year.
In October 2013 the band won the East Coast Music Association’s “Maritimes to Memphis Blues Challenge”. As a result they represented Atlantic Canada at the 2014 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, known as the premiere Blues event in the world!
 “As my journey as a musician continues, I am aware of what a great privilege it is to perform and share my music and stories with my audience. I've always been inspired by the power of music to entertain, provoke thought, suggest solutions and allow us to forget about our problems for awhile. As a songwriter it can take some time to figure out what you want to say even though it can seem easier to say what you mean with a guitar strapped on! It can be a bit scary as once you put it out there you can't take it back, so you might as well say it loud, so....Stand Back I Don't Know How Loud This Thing Gets!"
