Daniel Huscroft (Hus) is a natural talent whose first rays of brilliance shone at an early age. His musical journey began with classical violin and piano, competing at the Canadian Nationals at the tender age of ten. By age nine, Hus was touring the BC Kootenays with his father and three siblings on fiddles, piano, and voice, playing and singing old time standards with the Huscroft Family Band. But it wasn’t until the age of thirteen that Hus first met his true love when he picked up an electric guitar and began ripping Vivaldi violin concertos through a distortion pedal. Hus joined a teen rock band, and begun singing and songwriting. In 2000, while playing lead guitar and vocalist in a touring Christian rock band based out of Chicago, Hus met up-and-coming Christian artist Sarah Kelly; Kelly loved his guitar playing and songwriting, and asked Hus to write for her new album. Hus’ ongoing collaboration with Kelly has garnered multiple awards and Grammy nominations. As an integral member of the Sarah Kelly Band, Hus has played and recorded with drummer Gary Novak, guitarist Nick Lashley, and with Guns ‘N Roses producer Mike Clink and guitarist Slash. Hus returned to Canada in 2003 to play with his own band, Strada, an award-winning indie rock band based in Calgary and represented by Feldman. Strada was widely successful until its dissolution in 2006, touring with other acclaimed bands including Switchfoot, Stabilo, and Tea Party. Hus moved back to BC in the fall of 2006, and locked himself away with an acoustic guitar and a broken heart. He began experimenting with an acoustic approach to his instrumental work and songwriting, replacing the pick with fingers. By 2007, he connected with singer-songwriters Ryan McAllister (Dakona, Maverick Records) and Barnaby McRae, to jointly record the Cowboys and Indians album. His presence on the West Coast was quickly recognized, and has led to session work on over a dozen independent projects, including collaborations with acclaimed fiddler (and sister) Zav RT, Canadian Idol, and producer Daniel Mendez. Hus is currently recording his debut solo acoustic album, slated for release in Fall 2009. And so the journey continues.
