"Bryan Dunn"

Bryan Dunn established himself writing addictive songs and playing energetic live shows with former bands 3 Penny Opera (Austin, TX) and Simple Thing (New York, NY). From guitar-driven pop rock to plaintive tango-esque ballads, with a band or solo, Dunn's songs are compelling and intelligent, drawing his fans back to hear each new project. - Coyotemusic

Bio

Bryan Dunn has been performing both solo and in bands in Austin, Tx. and NYC since 1993. The projects have ranged from straightforward rock groups (Echo Juliet and Simple Thing), to 10000 Maniacs-esque folk rock (3 Penny Opera) and ultimately to Bryan Dunn and the Shambles which combine all the myriad influences into one glorious rock and roll mess. His uncle, who toured in a rock band when he was younger, first taught him how to play guitar when he was 14, and since then, he's been playing and writing songs whether or not anybody was around to listen to them. He devoured 60s rock in high school, especially the Beatles, but after moving to Austin for college, he started listening to anything available in the eclectic music scene there, rock acts such as David Garza and Johnny Goudie, blues musicians like Guy Forsyth, and acoustic vaudevillian excess with the Asylum Street Spankers. After moving to NYC and having some success as the front man for Simple Thing and the guitarist for Maggie Kim, he struck out on his own, put together the basic lineup for the Shambles, and plays frequent shows both solo and with the band around the city.
Of course, Bryan wrote this and finds it a bit odd to refer to myself in the third person.
