Welcome to the exciting and ever expanding musical universe of writer, performer, and producer Daniel Benjamin Buxton. A legendary street performer for many years in Edmonton, and more recently, Vancouver, D.B. Buxton has widened his scope in recent years as a sideman, band leader, and producer with projects aplenty and collaborations with the likes of Canadian hip-hop icon Cadence Weapon.

Combining the most soulful voice heard in recent years with pop songwriting chops to spare and a blisteringly intense solo performance style honed from years on the freezing streets, he is surely an artist worthy of rapt attention. Comparisons mostly fail, but certain ones, however ill-informed, seem to persist: think early Van Morrison beating the shit out of Jack White... or Jon Spencer in a blender with John Cale... or early Nick Cave on a drug binge with Rufus Wainwright... Enter, discover, and decide for your self...
