ATLIN MORGAN/DANIEL SINCLAIR DUO PROJECT

Duo Bio

 Although solo artists in their own right, Atlin (piano and vocals) and Daniel( guitar and vocals) have also been weaving magic as a collaborative duo, their two voices a rare and beautiful blend and their different musical writing styles adding variety to their sets, while at the same time feeling cohesive.

Although folk is the closest genre to describing their music, their sound is more varied, with hints of country, jazz, cinematic ballad, blues and indie music. Both Atlin and Daniel write songs that the duo plays but they also collaborate on writing and arranging. The result is a unique sound full of beautiful harmonies, evocative soundscapes and storytelling, often performed with a virtuosic flair. They have enjoyed playing together for nearly two years at various outdoor festivals such as Car Free YVR and Musart Cates Park Concert Series as well as shows at venues like Second Floor Gastown.

The duo have also been playing for the last year with Westcoast virtuosic fiddle player, Maya Eliza, in their trio, Ask The Wind, selling out shows all over the lower mainland. Their Farewell show is April 12th at the Anne Macdonald Studio in North Vancouver, as Maya is moving away. 

Daniel and Atlin are strong members of the Vancouver open mic and music community where they met. They both find it inspiring to be part of such a vibrant musical scene. 

They are each making a name for themselves as solid performers with unique talent that leave the audience wanting more. 

Solo Bios

ATLIN MORGAN:  Vancouver born and classically trained, Atlin  decided to forego a classical singing career in favour of becoming a a singer-songwriter. She has always loved the jazz classics, such as those sung by Ella Fitzgerald, and has combined her vocal jazz and classical vocal skills to sing her originals with a clean, confident, versatile and emotionally expressive sound. 

Although classically trained, Atlin has diverse influences that have inspired her to write in many styles including pop, indie rock, jazz, blues, folk, musical theatre, and choral, although many of her songs defy genres. Atlin's 13 song debut album, Lady Grey, released in October 2024, is a diverse showcase of her warm and powerful voice as well as unique songwriting style. She self-produced the album from the recording to the album art, and discovered she loved producing so much that she's begun to produce other local artists who inspire her but don't have any songs released yet.

DANIEL SINCLAIR: With music coloured by imagery of the American West, Alberta-born singer-songwriter Daniel Sinclair has roots in the storytelling traditions of folk music. His virtuosic guitar playing hints at bluegrass and country, but isn't squarely those things either. "My parents were very musical when I was little, and so were their parents - so were my siblings, so were my friends. It would have been strange not to play." But he credits his unique style largely to Tommy Emmanuel. "I heard him and it was like striking gold."
