Mitch Daigneault will be featured at the New Artist Showcase at this year's Canadian Country Music Week to be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba from Sept. 5 to 8.
The Saskatchewan Native is anything but new, having been part of the music scene for over 10 years now. He entered a lot of the showcases and competitions around Saskatchewan and in some of them finished successful. But it was the experience of performing live on stage that was rewarding for him.
Daigneault began to put more effort in his own singing and songwriting and those skills really shined through on his solo efforts. In 1997, he began a seven-year stint with the group C-Weed Band. He sang and played lead guitar for their 2,000 Juno nominated CD "Run As One." "Diving All Night" released in May of this year was the second solo CD for Daigneault. His first CD, "Keep On Believing" came out in 2003 and captured three trophies from the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. His latest Cd has been entered into four categories for the 2008 Canadian Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards that will be held in Toronto, Nov. 28.
According to Daigneault, "Driving All Night" is a collection of songs that came with a lot of hard work and soul-searching. During that time he's taken some time off from the road and has been spending a lot of time at home as a new dad and he reflects that new experience in one of his songs, "Rescue Me".
"Cry Like Rain" is one of 10-self penned songs from Mitch's new CD. It's a ballad that'll have you reaching to turn the volume loud and have you singing along. For more about Mitch Daigneault go to, www.mitchdaigneault.com www.myspace.com/mitchdaigneault.
