Dave Lang and David Newberry – Keep Calm and Carry on Tour

Dave Lang and David Newberry bring the Keep Calm and Carry on Tour to the 
Penticton Art Gallery on Sunday, November 22. Doors open at 7:30 pm, show 
begins at 8 pm.



Smart words, smart chords, smart clothes – Dave Lang has had a fondness for 
smartness since someone told him he had a smart mouth. Inspired by Cole 
Porter, Bob Wills, Randy Newman and Lenny Bruce, Lang writes smart songs 
that make you smile. “Even the love songs are biting and satirical,”  says 
Geoff Berner.

Dave Lang is currently the ‘musician in residence’ at the Lyric Theatre in 
Swift Current, Saskatchewan. He tours regularly with like-minded performers 
and is currently on a marathon three month tour of Canada. He has appeared 
on record alongside musicians such as Neko Case, Corb Lund, Geoff Berner 
and Carolyn Mark. He has written music for film and television and received 
glowing reviews online and in print magazines such as The Georgia Straight 
and Spin.

David Newberry sings folk songs with rock sensibilities. Or is it the other 
way around? His simple songs capture insights into the complex contemporary 
social world.

After years of recording and touring with a number of rock, folk and 
alt-country bands in Ontario and British Columbia, David has released his 
debut solo record, When We Learn The Things We Need To Learn.

“David's music is delivered with passion and intensity such as I have 
rarely experienced. Each song is like a masterpiece of concise writing, not 
one wasted word or thought. Each drives home the fact that I am listening 
to exquisite insights into the human condition. A brilliant blend of heart 
and mind that is all but missing in most of his contemporaries writing 
today. He is a brilliant poet and compelling performer. I will be in the 
audience again as often as I can. I think he is an outstanding writer. 
Simply outstanding.”    Three time Juno Award winner, David Francey

In his spare time, David co-writes and records educational songs for 
Ontario public television.

He also produced and performed on a comedy record to be released soon, as a 
part of the comedy ‘duo’, The Ben Mills Two. The album, Three Paycheque 
Month, will be released online.

Tickets for the November 22nd David Newberry and Dave Lang concert are 
available at the Penticton Art Gallery; $10 for Gallery members and 
students, or $15 for non-members. This event will be held in the intimate 
concert setting of the Tea Room with seating limited to 50, so please 
reserve yours in advance. To arrange a media interview, reserve tickets, or 
for more information, please contact Paul Crawford at the Penticton Art 
Gallery; (250) 493-2928.
