Dan McVeigh’s
career has taken him from one part of Canada to the other. He has
performed from Alberta to Newfoundland and everywhere in between
to enthusiastic audiences. He started out as a keyboard
player/lead vocalist in a number of Top 40/Country music groups
before working on his career as a solo artist. McVeigh released
his first CD (Love & Bridges) in 2001 after numerous requests from
people who wanted to buy a CD after seeing him perform his live
show.
Dan grew up in Renfrew, Ontario and played in local bands where he
started writing songs at age 17 and has 5 Billboard songwriting
awards to his credit as well as finishing 4th in the Canadian
Country Music Hall Of Fame Songwriting Competition. He has also
won 3 honorable mentions in the NSAI/CMT Song contest.
Dan was recognized for his work in
the arts community from the City of Brampton with a 2001 Arts
Acclaim Award.
McVeigh's latest CD is called “Drove” which has
garnered great reviews from Country Music News, which said “He
certainly does impress with his songwriting, and his vocal work
here is also a step up”. Country Jukebox from Germany says
“An album like “Drove” couldn’t be better. He leaves a good
feeling for friends of Canadian country music with his Nashville
sounding album”. McVeigh achieved national radio airplay with
his first single “You Are All I Dream Of”. The song went to #1 on
Canada’s leading country music internet station, “The Country
Edge”. Since releasing the CD, McVeigh is getting airplay across
Europe in Germany, France, The Netherlands and Romania. Dan's
songs have been recorded by a number of Canadian artists such as
Debbie Nelson & Miranda Jackson on Royalty Records and recently by
, Valerie Raymond, Myra Leblanc and Lana Gaile. Dan performs at writer’s nights
throughout Ontario and in Nashville, Tennessee by himself or with
his band “North of 49”. Dan has had the pleasure of performing on
stage with artists like Victoria Banks, Tim Taylor, Diane Chase, Gil Grand, Colin Amey, Jason
Barry, Barry Brown, Bruce Michael Miller and Wendell Ferguson.
Since 1994, Dan has been involved with the Nashville Songwriters
Association International (NSAI), which is the world's largest
songwriter organization. He is the lead coordinator for the Toronto NSAI
Chapter for the past 14 years. He has coordinated NSAI’s Tin Pan
