At 19-years old, Daniel Moir is a force to be reckoned with. In just a short time, the young singer/songwriter has already accomplished feats that take many a lifetime to achieve. Composing music from the tender age of four years old, Daniel has since become an accomplished player on the Guitar, Piano, Drums, Banjo, Bass Guitar and Harmonica. Drawing inspiration from personal insight and life experience that varies from a rocky childhood to vagabonding through Europe, Daniel has created a unique blend of folk music that shines wisdom far beyond his years..
Before pursuing a solo career, Daniel honed his performance skills singing, playing and recording with various local Bands. Daniels music was soon noticed by Vancouver Producer Tom Dobrzanski, who invited Daniel to his Vancouver studio to work on his debut solo EP, the Country and the Sea. Over the course of three weeks, Daniel and Tom worked together to create the critically acclaimed album, which charted on radio across Canada and lead to the development of a devoted fan base.
Daniel was soon to be picked up by U22 music producer Rhea March, who provides credible performance opportunities and mentorship for young artists. Daniel recently participated in a CBC concert series which will be aired to millions as a television special. After several Canadian tours and performances at various festivals, including playing for est. 15,000 at the Edmonton International Folk Festival, it is safe to say that the future is bright for Daniel Moir.
As well as being a musician, Daniel is also an accomplished painter, a dedicated meditator and nature-enthusiast. His anticipated full-length will be released early 2010. |

 Orange in the Light.
2008. 5-song EP. Orange in the Light formed when groupleader Daniel Moir left the band he was with at the time to go solo. He decided he would need some sort of band to play his songs, so he invited drummer Corin Roddick to join. Corin accepted and with him he brought guitarist Matt McKeen. An ad was placed for a bassist and Frank Pirker was quickly chosen to join. They were called the Daniel Moir Band.
As time went on the four musicians gained more experience with playing with eachother and became a solid four-piece. All members of the band were contributing to the songs and it was decided that the Daniel Moir Band was no longer an fitting name, so after a long period of brainstorming and name natural selection they decided to call themselves "Orange in the Light."

Gorgeous folk pop infused with wistful vocals, female harmonies, waves of synths, and bouncy banjos.
-- Sandra Sperounes, Edmonton Journal
In an industry full of pushy stage moms, crazy Britneys and pregnant teens, it is truly reassuring to meet musicians who are in the business purely for the music.
-- Becky Phillips, Youthink Magazine
Songs are straightforward enough to be appreciated by almost everyone, with haunting vocals and filled to the brim with sincerity.
-- Bryan Britles, Vue Weekly
Comparing anyone to the great Dylan [Bob] is obviously a dangerous game, but Moir possesses a special musical talent that warrants the comparison
-- Rob Latham, Off the Dial Blog
Daniel Moir is an artist in the truest sense of the word seeking to make good music, not good money. That trait makes for some really nice music that can be found on this EP
-- 8.9/10 Indie Music Stop cd review (inre; the Country and the Sea EP)

 In 1988 the merchants of the business district, 124th Street, extending from Jasper Avenue north to 111 Avenue in central Edmonton, formed a business association. Through the efforts of many members working with the Board over the years, 124th Street has physically improved with streetscaping and infrastructure work. Many businesses have seen the benefits of locating or expanding within the 124th Street business area.
Many of the businesses have been on 124th Street for years, providing specialty sales and service to Edmonton and surrounding areas.
With easy access to 124th Street, the area has become a natural business district for specialty shops, professional services, fine restaurants and bistros. 124th Street is the home of the famous "Gallery Walk", featuring some of the best art the city has to offer. |
