It’s melody and meaning\, stage lights and soul. It’s where she finds herself\, one note at a time.If Danel seems familiar\, it’s probably because you’ve already seen her — she plays regularly at Magnolia Wine Bar (every Saturday night)\, has gigged in almost every local venue\, and is a regular on the local open mic circuit — her finger-picking folk grooves quickly becoming a staple on Fort Worth stages. Informed by artists like Bonnie Raitt\, Susan Tedeschi\, Mavis Staples\, and Carole King\, Danel’s sound is a quilt of influences\, stitched with folk storytelling\, blues grit\, and soulful honesty.” (from FWTX.com) \nCAKE & PROSE is created and produced by David Hopkins & Matt Cobb. \nDAVID HOPKINS is a fantasy novelist with an interest in Shakespeare (hence the workshop)\, medieval history\, fairy tales\, and myth.
