UPDATE: The Dead Pens debut EP Unaddressed (Oct 2019), has received notable national attention and radio airplay in only a few weeks: CDX-Nashville Americana Charts (10 weeks), U.S. College Radio Charts (4 weeks),
Relix Magazine Top 30 (November 2019).
The Dead Pens are a (mostly) acoustic trio. Unabashedly dark, unapologetically bitter, The Dead Pens play their own dark blend of alt-folk, post-pop original music. All three members are pro musicians from different genres, who met while working on other projects.
Guitarist Ryan Abbott is founding member of surf-punk band The Phantom Limbs. He has performed live with a variety of well-known bands over the years, touring and working as a session guitar player; and lending guitar and piano tracks at major studios.
Vocalist is Danah Koch. The singer-songwriter-musician from MD has gone from unknown to a high-demand performer in a few short years. Not only does Danah have solid songwriting skills, her lovely exterior hides a BIG voice and emotional power that is sought-after, and has propelled her onto center stage of the east coast music scene.
​Cellist is Sally McGee. She trained as a classical musician who has played in a orchestras, quartets, and toured worldwide. She took a break from classical music when Ryan talked her into doing some unusual studio work on the Phantom Limbs final album. He enjoyed the different sound and they began writing music together.
