biographical info
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 Louis Armstrong, Cole Porter and Lenny Bruce, Lang writes smart songs.
"Dave Lang is an original throwback to a time when subtlety and good humour meant something. A literate mind, with a touch of Tom Lehrer attached to a subversive heart. This is a show to experience.”- Mitch Podolak (Artistic Director, Home Routes & co-founder Winnipeg Folk Fest)
Dave Lang tours regularly and 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.
