So, in the two years since Mihangel talked to Danny Schur, a lot has happened! Existentially speaking, the experience has been one for the books. But it hasn’t deterred Danny in spirit or enthusiasm. It’s business as usual and times are exciting! Stand! the Movie

Notwithstanding the lack of olfactory cheeriness, Mihangel was thoroughly intrigued by the long and winding road that Danny’s life has taken. Musician, composer, music producer, writer, project manager, film producer, promoter, marketer, all-round good guy and fellow Manitobavillian, Danny is the embodiment of success with a smile.

Listen in as we talk our way through the tour…
