Bio
Dan and Faith are an award-winning, New England-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, bass, ukulele, dulcimer, vocals) tap into dreams and everyday life in crafting their original songs.
Raised in New York City and the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, Dan has been singing for as long as he can remember, including the New York All-City Chorus and Concert Choir. These groups performed in Lincoln Center, Herald Square and were often requested for special events.
Faith was raised in upstate New York where she played piano, was an accompanist for school shows and concerts, sang in her school choir, and also took to acting.
The two met at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute while students. Professional life led them away from music for over 20 years. A song writing workshop series with Maura and Pete Kennedy brought them back to their musical roots. To play the songs they write, Dan picked up guitar, and later harmonica and banjo; Faith picked up mandolin, later added bass guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, mandola and dulcimer to her talents.
Most of the time, Dan and Faith write their songs separately, then arrange them for presentation as a duo. Each has won awards for their songwriting.
Their brand new album, Who We Are (2024), and prior releases, Then and Now (late 2019), Seeking (2016), and Simple Grace (2014) are available upon request in physical or download form.

Press / Reviews
“Dan and Faith’s latest CD, Seeking, demonstrates the rich maturity of their progress as singer-songwriters. From the evocative “Looking for the Road Less Traveled” to the trad-styled
“Deep Cold Sea,” to the gospel-tinged “On My Way,” to the delightful familiarly referential
“Driving With Friends” — it is a treat worth listening to and sharing with others.”
“In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, the lyrics of Daniel Senie’s song, “Simple Grace,” strike a poignant chord. The raw emotions of fear and pain are balanced by hope in the very first verse: “We come in fear, we come in pain, Shed many tears, like falling rain, But through it all, it’s clear to see, The light of love will set us free.”
