After listening to Let Love Reign a Four Song EP by Patrick Dune, I found it to be a very enjoyable experience. From the rockish Let Love Reign into the slightly lighter Take Me Down, its obvious that Patrick enjoys the experience of making music interesting and tackling different themes in music and lyrics. Patrick's obvious versatility in various genres, allows him to flow freely through each tune tackling each one on different musical level.

Patrick Dune Bio:
Five time nominated and award winning singer, songwriter, retro guitarist, recording artist, producer Patrick Dune is fueled by his long love of music, faith and self-salvation. Now a native to Denver, Colorado from Toronto Canada, Dune is excited about his USA Mid-West 2015 tour with his new Band “The DesertHearts”. His expressive vocal approach and trademark Rickenbacker and acoustic textured open chord guitar styles, play off of the strong emotional landscapes of his song writing. Dune’s songs reach out and target his audience with many different emotional states and he approaches a new blend and style with a refreshing commercial sound that boldly sets him apart.
From his small home town of Pickering Ontario, Dune caught his first break with his original band “The Keep” when they released their first self-produced EP’s "Time is a Luxury” and Don't Wish Your Life Away" and were nominated and awarded best new artist. Being recognized for a new refreshing commercial sound “The Keep” were signed to ACE Records/A&M Management and toured with many well-known Canadian acts.
With a great string of accomplishments under his belt, Dune decided to disband “The Keep” to venture into the recording studio, writing songs and jingles for publishers and independent films and is best known for many song writing jingles including for Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto "First to Care First to Share" as well as numerous other successful song writing credits. Dune found continued success in the release of numerous produced recording projects, successful co-writes and independent studio projects. In 2004 he released his first solo EP “Let Love Reign” that was voted #1 on the independent radio charts in the US and UK. In 2010 Dune won two songwriting awards after recorded two songs “We’re All In” and “Just another Incubation Day” for Microsoft Corporation’s worldwide marketing campaigns. Dune was also requested to front a new corporate band for Microsoft called “ShuttDown” that started his path back to the stage touring across the US and Canada.
Dune also continued to write and expand his original material with the intention of launching his solo career and now the time is right. The release of his record “Middle Ground” earned him 5 nominations and was written and built around his own life. The albums creation was based on a lot of real life experiences of love, life, finding true happiness and following your dreams. “This record has a lot of very positive vibes and illustrates that in a musical picture” says Dune and it expands the contrast between old and new styles with stripped down Rickenbacker guitars laying down deep moving tones that provides that refreshing rocking sound with a kick.
Dune continues to innovate with his music with that raw, uncompromising and relentless energy that is very abundant in his live shows that his fans love. Dune now is well down the path of re-establishing and re-inventing himself as a national artist and songwriter. You are going to want to follow the evolving continued success story of Patrick Dune and The DesertHearts...
