The prolific David Olney infuses his live performances with an intensity that converts many new listeners into die-hard fans. Mr. Olney’s intelligent compositions radiate that same intensity and have earned a place as one of the most respected singer-songwriters in the world today. His songs have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Lonnie Brooks, James King, Slaid Cleaves, Dale Ann Bradley, Tom Rozum, Ann Rabson, Keiran Kane/Kevin Welch/Fats Kaplin, Tim O’Brien and others. He has released more than 20 albums over four decades, including six live recordings, and performs worldwide.

David’s first installment of his new series of thematic mini-albums – “David Olney Presents: FILM NOIR” – earned a spot on the Philadelphia City Paper Top 10 Roots Albums of 2011, citing, “these dark stories and their perfect small jewels of cool jazz must be honored for offering fascinating listening, both lyrically and musically.” David is readying the second installment of this series with “The Stone” -slated for release in March
2012.

David has become synonymous with Classic Poetry as new fans have flocked to several of his stellar video recitations posted on YouTube, such as Coleridge’s “Kubla Kahn”; Brownlng’s “My Last Dutchess” and others. In late 2009, David began a weekly live interactive broadcast on Ustream.tv, sharing music, songwriting insight, good humor and wild stories.
