DAN BERN & ORIT SHIMONI

Longtime American songwriting legend Dan Bern and Canadian songstress Orit (pronounced O’reet) Shimoni have been joining forces the last few years, creating new, gorgeous music by intertwining their voices on old songs, and co-writing new ones. Together they create memorable, dynamic shows that are not to be missed!

Dan Bern has been a captivating live performer who has enthralled a loyal and ever-growing fan base in the US and Europe since the mid ‘90s. His songs range from deeply moving to wildly imaginative and at times, downright hilarious, sometimes all within the same song. He has been favourably compared to the great American masters of songwriting, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and though he clearly draws from the great American tradition of songwriting, there is something deeply unique and compelling in Dan’s work that makes you want to get to know the man behind the songs. 

Orit puts on engaging, emotionally riveting concerts, is a masterful storyteller and has a timeless, alluring voice.  " a wandering minstrel that shows great insight into the human condition and our collective conundrums." - Lonesome Highway. The two met at a festival in 2019 and were immediately engaged in the type of conversations about songwriting, art, and the meaning of being alive in this world that made them friends for life, but when they shared a microphone and sang harmonies for the first time they knew they had to do it again, and again.
