A bit about Dave:

Dave Penny has established himself as a Newfoundland and Labrador comic songwriter/storyteller, which over the past 25 years has brought him around the province as well as parts of Ontario, PEI and New England. He chronicles current

events, or makes up stories loosely based on personal experiences or news article using his unique brand of clever satire.

Whether the issue is localized to Newfoundland and Labrador, such as a state of emergency following a record snowfall, or a more global issue such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Dave ties them with humourous narrative and catchy melodies. His 2017 release, All Turned Around, was nominated for a MusicNL and a Canadian Folk Music award for Traditional Artist of the Year. In October 2020, Dave released Chip Wagon Ahead, another album of original songs, which has been nominated for a MusicNL award for Celtic/Traditional Artist of the Year.

Since 2018 he has been collaborating with multi-instrumentalist Daunt Lee, allowing Dave to write songs in different formats to add to his already extensive collection.

Together with Daunt they have performed and recorded various folk festivals and small stage venues, most recently the Diamond House in Glovertown, NL.

Dave lives in St. John’s and continues to write and perform solo and with Daunt Lee and From Stage to Stage.
