2017 Kim Ode, The Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Eclectic Minnesota accompanist Dan Chouinard is ‘everyone’s go-to guy’… With lyrics projected on a screen, Chouinard lets fly with inventive, often playful, accompaniments, rarely glancing at the keyboard — a feat that one regular considers magic. “It’s kind of his calling,” said the man who’s attended these singalongs for ten years. “I mean, you know he could be playing with anyone, but here he is with us.”
