Dan and Faith / Press

“Dan & Faith are using their platform to promote a cause that’s near and dear to their hearts: the trans community, and more specifically, trans youth. “My Name is George” fearlessly tackles the journey of a transgender boy, facing it head-on with refreshing yet heartwrenching honesty. It lays bare the thoughts, emotions, fears, and desires trans youth face when choosing to live their truth and show their authentic selves to the world. The namesake album “Who We Are,” from which this meaningful single is from, is also receiving acclaim worldwide. Worcester Public Radio’s Nick Noble, who hailed Who We Are a “triumph,” says “My Name is George” is set to be one of the most influential songs of the modern age. Being a voice for trans youth in a world where they are often silenced is a powerful role, but Dan & Faith took up the challenge with “My Name is George,” a song that promises to be truly life-changing for one of the world’s most marginalized communities.”

“Wow. You'd hope and try to have enough faith in humanity that this song wouldn't be needed...but there is enough hatred and bigotry out there, that beautiful songs of love and acceptance continue to be paramount in making forward progress as a society. Dan & Faith's latest single "My Name Is George" is a powerful one. The press release about the song gives you all the facts about the song, its release, where you can find it, stream it, and even see Dan & Faith perform live.”

“Dan and Faith, have come up with their best album yet. Who We Are is loaded with a lot of fun, folksy singalong music, variety clearing the way for their talents and for their friends’ talents to flesh out their lyrical visions. Fans of Dan and Faith will likely be replaying this work, produced by Joe Jencks, over and over again because it brings out a spirited joy with each song.”

“The sixth CD from New Hampshire-based husband-and-wife folk duo Dan and Faith Senie is a triumph! The album contains sixteen original songs and was produced by renowned troubadour Joe Jencks. The result is something musically quite special, and it is presented in an impressively magnificent 70-page booklet that delivers lyrics and extensive background for each track. I highly recommend the entire experience of Dan & Faith’s Who We Are.”

“Dan and Faith’s songs have always told stories, but in Then and Now they have asserted themselves more surely than ever as true songwriters. Crafting their creations with insight, reflection, and humor, they bring to their work maturity of narrative enriched by solid musicianship and a keen understanding of life and the world around them.”

“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.”

Nick Noble, host of The Folk Revival on WICN Public Radio (Worcester, MA)

“Dan and Faith approach each recording project as a step forward on their own path toward a kind of music/dream-inspired enlightenment and also as an insightful and compassionate outreach to their listeners. The lyrics are honed with hand tools like the beams in a New England barn, and the production is handled with the same care and attention to detail. With the addition of caring side-persons, including the inimitable Lorraine and Bennett Hammond, and studio ace Billy Novick on woodwinds, this collection lifts Dan and Faith once again to the next level; in songwriting, performance, and most importantly, in their message of hope and encouragement to all fellow seekers.””

-Pete Kennedy, singer-songwriter, guitarist, part of the folk-rock duo

“Combining thoughtful poetry and evocative storytelling with sweet harmonies, Dan & Faith are an acoustic duo worth hearing again and again. As singer-songwriters they remain true to their open-mic/coffeehouse/musicin- the-round roots, evoking laughter, love, melancholy, and magic in equal parts. Their new album, Simple Grace, contains their best work to date: a selection of original songs that ring a range of changes on a number of themes, varying pace, tempo, emotion, and musical craft to create something quite lovely and special.”

Nick Noble - WICN Radio - The Folk Revival

“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." ”

“It is always an awesome day when Dan & Faith play at the café, with their wonderful and eclectic mix of haunting original melodies and echoes of Johnny Cash and Emmy Lou Harris...”

DF, Acoustic Java

“Musicians Daniel and Faith Senie, of Bolton, contributed the song, “Simple Grace,” to the Boston Strong compilation to benefit the One Fund in Boston.”

"Dan and Faith warmly and honestly portray themselves, as individuals and as a couple, with an expansive panorama of acoustic styles that reflects their enlightened world view: a deep love for words and music, and a compassionate earth-based spirituality that illumines every couplet, guitar riff and mandolin melody."

Pete Kennedy - The Kennedys
