LARRY DUNN

printable biog page 1

Musician, singer-songwriter Larry Dunn has recendy completed his 3rd independent CD 'Got It Workin' released on his record label New Blue Classics. Songs from his 2 prior cd's 'Migration Of The Groove' and 'The Hound of Music' have been placed in movies: used on television (netwOrk and cable): included on compilation albums: covered by other artists; recorded for Muzak and have charted in the Top 10 on syndicated radio.

He bought his first guitar (a used 'Montgomery Ward' sunburst model) in his hometown of Casper, Wyoming at the age of 14. Shortly thereafter he joined a local rock 'n' roll band and hasn't looked back.

The idea of working on the West Coast had always been on the top of the list for him so when the prospect of working with a group in California presented itself, Larry moved to the Golden State.

Since moving to California he has had the opportunity to work with Bo Diddley, Eddie Money, Steve Cropper, Big Joe Turner. Mary Wells and Sir Mac Rice (the man that penned 'Mustang Sally' and 'Respect Yourself') as well as many of the great local musicians in the Bay Area. His work with The Dynatones also included opening for many great artists including The Four Tops, The Stylistics, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Crosby Still and Nash, Jr. Walker and the list goes on.

"There is nothing I love more than going into a club where the audience is used to hearing the same old cover stuff, you know ... tried and true but nothin' new ... and bringing down the house with original songs. If you can do that you may as well go for it, put in some new twists and turns, trick it up a little bit and take the audience for a ride", Dunn comments.

The band also opened concerts for 'Tower of Power', Dr John, The Thunderbirds, Robben Ford, Junior Wells and C.J. Chenier among others.
