ABOUT ME:
I've been writing, teaching, recording and traveling around the US playing music for over a decade. Lovely Distractions, my newest studio album is getting airplay all over the US... which doesn't make me any cooler but it sure is fun! Find out more info here (and a list of radio stations with request numbers): http://www.danvaillancourt.com
I have always been torn between two major types of influences... Great lyricist and instrumental virtuosos. I try make little extra challenges for myself to try new techniques/instruments/styles that I would normally not do or have never done... and hopefully get a little more proficient in the process.
I finished FAWM and 50/90 in 2008 and 2009 for a total of almost 150 new songs. I'm back for more in 2010... Besides writing way too many new songs... I have become a better songwriter, better musician and much better "recording engineer." (i.e. I kind of know what I am doing now.)
Although I have written a bunch of songs that fit nicely in my acoustic singer-songwriter repertoire... I also tend to try new styles and techniques and indulge many of my other interests for the songwriting challenges. Don't be surprised to hear some new rock, blues, alt. tunings, ambient and more for FAWM 2010. ![]()
A lot of folks still ask me about the 26 Girls Series that I did for 50/90 2008. "26 Girls" is a series of songs about 26 different characters, by name, in alphabetical order... If you missed it, I archived the Mp3s, lyrics, notes here: http://danvaillancourt.blogspot.com/
