Dan & Faith

Dan and Faith are a touring New Hampshire-based husband and wife singer-songwriter duo who describe their music as dream-inspired folk. Daniel Senie (guitar, banjo, harmonica, vocals) and Faith Senie (mandolin, acoustic bass guitar, ukulele, mountain dulcimer, vocals) tap into the imagery captured in dreams, as well as everyday life, in crafting their original songs that tell the stories of people and places, real and imagined. Among the duo’s five studio albums are Who We Are (2024), Then and Now (2020), Seeking (2016), and Simple Grace (2014). An earlier album and a live EP are no longer available.

Dan and Faith’s sound is rooted in tight, interwoven vocal harmonies, supported by varied instrumentation and an occasional a cappella treatment. In live performances and radio interviews, they introduce or follow most songs with additional storytelling about the characters and places in each one, and the inspiration behind them.

The duo got their musical start in New England and now travel throughout the U.S. and Canada in a camper-van packed with instruments and sound gear as they bring their music and stories to coffeehouses, festivals, libraries, house concerts, and other listening rooms.

Raised in New York City and the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, Dan Senie has been singing for as long as he can remember. Although he took piano and French horn as a child, neither instrument kept his interest. However, he enjoyed spending many summers at Camp Taconic, singing folk songs of the 1960s and 1970s, many of which remain favorites of his to this day. Upon moving back to NYC, Dan joined the Manhattan borough-wide chorus and, later, the New York All-City Chorus and Concert Choir.

Faith Senie was raised in Cooperstown, NY, where she began playing piano at an early age. She sang in her school choir, was an accompanist for school shows and concerts, and also took to acting. She and Dan met while both were students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Although professional life led them to abandon their musical pursuits for more than 20 years, a songwriting workshop series with Pete and Maura Kennedy prompted them to return to their musical roots.
