Acoustic Folk Musician Dan Ennis
Dan has been playing music for many years, and has been performing for just as long. Over the years, Dan has had the opportunity to perform at a variety of venues, and with a variety of performers. Throughout his musical career he has had the opportunity to work with amazing musicians such as Ralph Covert, the songwriter of the highly acclaimed children’s album Ralph’s World. This experience and exposure has influenced and shaped Dan’s musical style, and is still apparent in the work he does today. In 2003 Dan put out his debut album titled, “The Passing of Time.” This album proved to be the culmination of everything Dan musically believed in. The songs were deep, innovative, and profound. Audiences welcomed the album, and their reactions helped ignite Dan’s passion for songwriting. The success of “The Passing of Time,” encouraged Dan to dig even deeper, and work even harder at polishing his work. His newer songs, such as “Enjoy the Ride,” and “Life of Mine” are evidence of the great strides he has taken in the short time since his first album. Dan is currently working on a follow up album, which will include all of his new material. To conclude, the music of Dan Ennis could be generally categorized as acoustic folk, but remnants of classic country, acoustic pop, and even rock and roll are all present in his work. Dan is a very accomplished and a very unique singer-songwriter whose lyrics are profound and refreshing. His music not only entertains, but also often carries a message derived from political or sociological influences. Dan captivates an audience with his warm personality, his high energy, and his well-crafted songs.

Lyrics
Herbie was a herbivore A prehistoric dinosaur With great big teeth and a great big roar But he never could hurt another dinosaur When he was small his mama said Eat your meat or go straight to bed No desert for you my son Now, meat is good for everyone But Herbie said no thanks not for me I don’t eat meat and it don’t eat me Something about it just don’t seem right So I choose the bed and I’ll say goodnight Cause, Herbie was a herbivore A prehistoric dinosaur With great big teeth and a great big roar But he never could hurt another dinosaur First day of school sure was a drag All the other kids would just boast and brag About all the creatures they had caught While playing on the recess parking lot Excuse me teacher but I feel ill I don’t believe in a right to kill May I please go and see the nurse Before this gets any worse Herbie was a herbivore A prehistoric dinosaur With great big teeth and a great big roar But he never could hurt another dinosaur Now he’s grown and lives on his own And he only eats what can be re-grown Like grass and leaves and bushes too And occasionally a stick of bamboo Herbie was a herbivore A prehistoric dinosaur With great big teeth and a great big roar But he never could hurt another dinosaur No he never could hurt another dinosaur
