Dave Gunning / Heebee-jeebees [LIVESTREAM]

Dave Gunning (NS)

The pride of Pictou County and a firm favourite of folk music audiences wherever he goes, Dave Gunning is a master of the song-writing craft. Poetic tales about his maritime background mingle with intimate, nuanced stories of love, life and loss, all delivered with honesty from a wide-open heart. All of his signature talents as a writer converge on his most recent album, Up Against the Sky, which features the likes of J. P. Cormier and the Atlantic String Machine. Well before that release, however, Dave had already secured his place in the pantheon of Canadian folk music greats with songs of aching beauty such as “These Hands.” Welcome Dave Gunning back to the club for what promises to be another memorable performance. www.davegunning.com
