Daniel Haselwanter is a young Austrian acoustic folk rock singer/songwriter. Since the age of 12 he has been writing his own music and has been singer and guitarist in several local bands. It was not until 2009 that he finally decided to have his first solo-album produced. His debut record "between lines" (released in June 2010) is a display of his various qualities as a songwriter and musician. The album is made up of 14 songs that cover a rich variety of musical styles and a wide range of emotions. Supported by the Styrian musicians Chris Laber (bass) and Martin Klement (drums), "between lines" contains progressive acoustic rock with powerful vocals ("hold on", “beyond the edge”) as well as invigorating experimental instrumental songs (“Marmara”, “Sternenhimmel”) and touching, even dramatic acoustic ballads (“near her”, “zu zweit”). The large variety of moods that the songs communicate (e.g. personal determination, mourning, being in love, the love of natural beauty, travelling etc.) is just as unusual as the mix of different languages that his mostly contemplative lyrics are written in (English, German, Tyrolean dialect, Spanish). Daniel’s affection for traditional and uncommon instruments is also strongly reflected on “between lines”. Bouzouki, udu drum, rainmaker, cajon and violin all add a refreshing touch of world music to the album. Daniel Haselwanter is currently working on his second album and plans to play a lot of concerts in Austria and also abroad throughout 2012.
