David Poe with special Guest Janita — live event
David Poe, a songwriter artist from New York. David Poe is a celebrated American songwriter and recording artist. In an era of pop music that tends to either turn away from big concerns or focus on small ones, Everyone’s Got A Camera feels both new and old, as surprising as it is inevitable. Rolling Stone writes, “David Poe gives the singer-songwriter genre a much-needed jolt.” The Village Voice calls Poe “the major domo of songwriters.” “Every songwriter worth their salt is striving for the kind of balanced poetry and simplicity that Poe seems to just pour out,” says No Depression. “It’s hard to deny the expert craftsmanship of Poe’s songwriting,” wrote Paste Magazine of “What The President Said,” a topical song from 2017 which enjoyed the public support of Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda. The London Independent compared his songs to “miniature novels.” Poe has toured the world with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Tori Amos, Chris Whitley, and many more. A composer fellow of the Sundance Institute, his work features in numerous film, TV, dance and theater projects, official selections of the Sundance Film Festival. Songs by David Poe have been performed by a wide array of artists and recorded by producers including T-Bone Burnett, Larry Klein, Buddy Miller, and Dave Sitek. He has also produced recordings for other artists, including Regina Spektor and Kraig Jarret Johnson. Shadowland, a collaboration with contemporary dance company Pilobolus, toured for a decade and was performed on five continents, for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and was released as a feature film. Poe has performed Bowie’s final masterpiece Blackstar in its entirety with Bowie saxophonist Donny McCaslin and the Charlotte Symphony. His music accompanied new work by the Los Angeles Dance Project in a world premiere at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar. He has also created music for the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, American Repertory Theater, and the Harvard Dance Project. Transplanted from the American Midwest to New York City and now living in Los Angeles, David Poe served as the sound engineer at CBGB’s 313 Gallery before signing with Sony/Epic.
