Piano, Voice, and the Open Road

Out where the miles stretch long, Dave Manning follows the next town with a piano and a voice shaped by blues, boogie-woogie, jazz, and Americana. Rough around the edges like Tom Waits and on the throttle like Jerry Lee Lewis, his music is full of stories, soul, and heat, from Folsom Prison to stages across the American West and Europe.

Listen to Dave

Immerse yourself in Dave Manning’s distinctive sound — from bluesy piano riffs to soulful vocals. His music has captivated audiences across continents, opening for artists like Dan Bern, Mose Allison, and James Mathus, and earning a place on the road in his VW bus signed by Arlo Guthrie.

"Dave Keeps your intrest with soul-filled licks, and
kisses you good-night and breaks up with you at the
same time."
