Daniel Lanois « Deux Voix Une Capitale »

On September 27, 2026 at The Bronson in Ottawa, Daniel Lanois brings Deux Voix Une Capitale to the stage. Born in Hull and raised in Ontario, the producer, guitarist and songwriter built his craft in the studio before shaping a singular live language that drifts between folk, rock and ambient. Known for pivotal collaborations with Brian Eno, U2, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris, he approaches performance like sound sculpture, attentive to space, grain and silence.

His set folds songs and instrumentals into the same flow: treated guitars and pedal steel, a soft-edged voice, slow pulses and cinematic textures. Pieces from albums like Acadie, Belladonna, Flesh and Machine or Heavy Sun surface and transform, reframed by loops, delays and subtle harmonies. The music moves from intimate melodies to more meditative passages, leaving room for gesture and improvisation without losing clarity. On stage, Lanois keeps the palette organic and tactile, letting timbre and resonance carry the narrative. In Ottawa, this show focuses on the dialogue between voice and instruments, a close-up on his way of shaping atmosphere in real time at The Bronson.
