SOMEBODY SCULPT ME.
We had a pinball tournament at SchwonkSoundStead. I wanted to make a trophy for it, but it took me too dang long. So I gave this to Brendan for his birthday or whatever.

Air dry clay, acrylics and a pinball.
More sculptures soon

Kyran Daniel put on an amazing show last month - chip in if you can!

CAR ACCIDENT - BACK ON THE ROAD: My first time delivering bad-news to fans: some of you may already be aware that 3-weeks into this mammoth tour, I was involved in a car accident at 3am on the road from Florida to Virginia. For legal reasons I shouldn’t go into the details here, but suffice it to say, I’m okay (miraculously), nobody else was hurt, and thanks to my incredible friends Van & Polly in VA, I was able to be on the road again the next day, straight back into concerts without interruption.

The fallout from this has been a lot to handle though. I’ve definitely been quite shaken up considering the severity of the collision, and it’s taken quite an effort to maintain the motivation to persist with shows following the event. That said, I’m so glad I persevered; the nights following the accident, I had some beautiful interactions with fans sharing their life-experiences and anecdotes on how music (mine, and other’s) has positively effected their lives, and that was all the motivation I needed.

I am however now facing the daunting financial consequences of this. As you can imagine, even with insurance, it has cost in the thousands to get back on the road to complete the tour. … I never wanted to draw on my fan base in moments like this, but in this instance, if you have it in your capacity & heart to help with the financial rebuild so I can return for my Spring 2025 USA tour, it would be most appreciated: www.kyrandaniel.com/backontheroad
