ENTERTAINER DANIEL O’DONNELL TO PERFORM IN 17 NORTH AMERICAN CITIES, THURSDAY, MAY 8 – JUNE 7, 2008 Cities Include Lethbridge, Portland (OR), Vancouver, Seattle, Las Vegas, Palm Springs/Indio, Pasadena, Fresno, Chicago, Moline, Ottawa, Toronto, Halifax,
St. John’s (NL), Portland (ME), Wilkes-Barre, Cleveland; Popular Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell will perform in 17 North American cities in Spring, 2008, including Lethbridge, Portland (OR), Vancouver, Seattle, Las Vegas, Palm Springs/Indio, Pasadena, Fresno, Chicago, Moline, Ottawa, Toronto, Halifax, St. John’s (NL), Portland (ME), Wilkes-Barre and Cleveland. The Spring 2008 tour will feature Daniel's longtime musical companion, the Irish vocalist Mary Duff, as well as The Daniel O'Donnell Band. O'Donnell, Duff & band return to North America on October 3, 4 & 5, 2008 for shows in Minot, ND, and then in November for a month of appearances at Branson's Tri-Lakes Center. The entertainer has enjoyed worldwide success in recent years with his unique blend of country music, 60’s pop, inspirational ballads & Irish standards. Featured on seven nationally televised PBS specials in the U.S. (including 2007’s Daniel O’Donnell Can You Feel The Love), O’Donnell’s live show is especially popular. It's not uncommon for O'Donnell's concerts to sell out within minutes of going onsale, and the shows are oft-requested destinations for group coach tours. O'Donnell's easy-going, entertaining on-stage personality makes each live show an exciting event; in addition to the usual set list, different songs are sprinkled in each evening and the on-stage patter and audience participation give each show a new and distinct feel. “The fans are an integral part of the experience of my live show, and I think they keep coming back primarily due to their love for the music I bring them,” O’Donnell says. “I make the show fun by having conversations and talking to them on-stage, even joking around like old friends. I stay after every performance to meet everyone I can, and people know I’m very approachable. Those who have seen me perform multiple times know that variety and spontaneity is a key part of the show, too. My goal every time I step onstage is to make sure the audience leaves entertained,” O’Donnell says. “I want to make people feel relaxed and at home with me, and for a few hours anyway, create an atmosphere that helps them leave their worries behind.” O’Donnell’s new full-color hardcover book Daniel O’Donnell’s Ireland: Songs and Scenes from My Homeland (Virgin Books) will be published in the U.S. and Canada on February 19, 2008; his next Public Television special, Daniel O’Donnell At Home In Ireland, begins airing in March 2008. Attila Glatz Concert Productions in Toronto is his North American Presenter. His North American record company is DPTV Media.
