Danielle Dayton Album Release Live at Festival Hall, 1215 10 Avenue SE Calgary, Alberta

$30 in advance, $35 at the door

A decade in the making, Danielle Dayton's debut full-length album is a labor of love that captures the bird’s eye view of her twenties with honesty and heart. The album explores themes of self-acceptance, rediscovering ambition, and the quiet determination to hold onto dreams while navigating the realities of adulthood. Blending dimensional synth textures, poignant choral harmonies, and infectious melodies, the album strikes a balance between modern indie-pop with folk flavour and story telling. 

The album itself is the product of a kismet long-distance collaboration. Danielle, based in Calgary, connected with Michigan producer and artist Noah Nigg through an online course focused on writing music for film and television. What began as a creative partnership crafting songs for sync opportunities soon grew into something much bigger after Danielle asked a simple question: "Will you produce my first album?"

Over the past three years, the project has crossed the Canada–U.S. border countless times through video calls, voice messages, emails, and shared recording files. Despite creating an entire album together, Danielle and Noah have never met in person—until now. The album release concert marks the first time they'll share a stage, bringing these songs to life with a full band in a celebration years in the making.
