GUNNING DAVE - CD NO MORE PENNIES

Popis - NO MORE PENNIES:
Dave’s 10th album No More Pennies is inarguably his finest collection of songs to date. The record celebrates the journey and pays tribute to the trials and tribulations, the highs and lows and the goodness at the heart of people. On No More Pennies, Dave has proven to be a deft arranger and a songwriting master craftsman with co-written gems with George Canyon, Jim Dorie, David Francey (duet), Lennie Gallant, Bruce Guthro, Karine Polwart (duet) and record producer, Jamie Robinson. The lead signature track, These Hands co-written with George Canyon is a 'call to action' style song reminiscent of classic Pete Seeger to inspire us to make good in this world. His album, No More Pennies was honoured with the 2013 Music Nova Scotia Award for Folk Recording of the Year and his song; These Hands was awarded Song of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards. Dave’s previous release … a tribute to John Allan Cameron was honored with a 2012 Juno Award nomination and was the winner of two 2011 Canadian Folk Music Awards and two East Coast Music Awards. He was the winner of the Indie International Song Contest (for his song, Hard Workin’ Hands, co-written with Ron Hynes) and a finalist in the Great American Song Contest, the USA Songwriting Competition, the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the International Songwriting Contest. All of the hardware and certificates aside, however, it is the personal connection that Gunning’s music engenders that is the greatest testament to his craft. A seasoned performer and entertainer, Dave has toured extensively headlining sold out venues, festivals, house concerts and theatres throughout Canada, the U.S., the U.K. , Ireland, Denmark, Australia and in Afghanistan, entertaining the troops. Engaging and charismatic, Dave's magnetic gift of captivating audiences by creating a bond through down-to-earth details, homespun humour and seasoned musicianship will be in full display as he continues to tour in support of the latest chapter of a career heading for international recognition.
