"Yukon Balladeers" Daniel Halen and "Chic" Callas unite their talents in the instrumental/vocal duo known as the DanChic Duo. They capture and preserve the spirit, generosity, and uniqueness of the vibrant communities inhabiting the remote landscapes of Canada’s Yukon, embodying the essence of northern life, history, and culture in their songs.
The duo draws from a rich tapestry of influences, including First Nations, Celtic, and Anglo-Saxon traditions, crafting narratives that reflect the distinct experiences and values of northern societies. Their music features an array of acoustic instruments, such as fiddle, accordion, guitar, piano, cello, percussion, and mouth harp, while their lyrics often weave through tales of love, adventure, hardship, and the beauty of nature.
