Indie rock wunderkind Daniel Romano announced today that he and his band will be playing Halifax on May 19. Tickets for The Marquee Ballroom gig—which features newcomer Julianna Riolino, label mate to Romano, as the opener—go on sale Friday, Feb 12 at noon via Sonic Concert’s website. Daniel Romano’s star skyrocketed to a new strata in the pandemic, as the rocker released 10 full records in as many weeks during lockdown. Astonishment begot buzz which begot an even-bigger fandom for the prolific musician, who’s also co-founder of cool kid music label You’ve Changed and produced Dallas Green’s project City and Colour. A true musician’s musician, Romano has been shortlisted for The Polaris Prize a handful of times and has been nominated for Junos—all while pivoting from folk to rock to vintage country to punk to psychedelic rock since his arrival on the scene in the late aughts.
Tickets for the Halifax gig—which sees Romano in rock mode with his band The Outfit—are $29.07 in advance and $34.20 day of show.
