Dave Gunning has been acclaimed as one of Canada's best up-and-coming singer-songwriters. A charismatic performer, Dave is known for infusing his shows with his own brand of humourous tales and touching commentary on the everyday, bringing a new vibrance, energy and life to his heartfelt songs. Blending sensitive folk and innovative arrangements to his original and traditional songs, Gunning is rapidly building a solid audience fan base wherever he performs.
