Daniel O'Donnell in Ottawa

The entertainer has enjoyed worldwide success in recent years with his unique blend of country music, 60’s pop, inspirational ballads & Irish standards.  Featured on seven  nationally televised PBS  specials in the U. S. (including 2007’s Daniel O’Donnell Can You Feel The Love).  O’Donnell’s live show is especially popular.  It’s not uncommon for O’Donnell’s concerts to sell out within minutes of going on sale, and the shows are often requested destinations for group bus tours.  O’Donnell’s easy-going, entertaining on stage personality makes each live show an exciting event; in addition to the usual set list, different songs are sprinkled in each evening and the on stage patter and audience participation give each show a new and distinct feel.
