Chelsey Danfield
Hot off the release of her second full-length album “At the Time”, it’s safe to say that this is the time for 26-year-old singer/songwriter, Chelsey Danfield. Originating from her family’s cash crop and hobby farm in Maidstone, Ontario, Chelsey draws inspiration from her rural roots to create honest to goodness alternative country music, "I realized quickly growing up that country music told my family's story.
It was who we were and what we did." Compared to the likes of Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, and Alannah Myles, Chelsey has cultivated a sound that incorporates elements of current and classic country, rock, blues, and a pinch of pop.
Debuting at the age of only 6 years old and continuing throughout her high school years, Chelsey played predominantly throughout Ontario and parts of Michigan both as a solo act and later on in experimental punk bands.
In 2012, while working as a guitar and vocal teacher in the sleepy lakeside community of Belle River, Ontario, Chelsey was introduced to Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit producer and former Iggy Pop/David Bowie lead guitarist Stacy Heydon, kick-starting her professional career.
Their collaboration has led to an EP release “All We Ever Do” in winter of 2017, her debut album, “Cowboy”, in spring of 2017, and her most recent release, “At the Time" on AMG Records.
Over the span of her 20 year career, Chelsey has performed all over Canada and the US, sharing the stage with acts like Kenny Chesney, the Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, Dwight Yoakam, Mark Chesnutt, Lone Star, Justin Moore, and Blue Oyster Cult…and has no plans on stopping there.
From the red sands of Prince Edward Island to the heat scorched earth of the Mojave Desert, Chelsey brings a presence to the stage that commands the kind of attention that spans multiple genres and unites her audience in the shared woes of the overworked, underpaid and broken-hearted.
