Brad Dunse: Brad's Bio

Brad Dunse

"Brad is one of the most talented, thoughtful and innovative musicians I have ever met. Even if he doesn't record his hit CD with me, I'll still be first in line to buy it. I am a huge fan!"

--Steve Janega
Natural Sound Studios

"Brad is the real deal -- a monster guitar player, an insightful and clever lyricist and a solidly entertaining singer. First his rock solid guitar groove grabs you, then he turns pensive, then silly, and then there's that infectious groove again."

--Daniel Barnes
Songwriter

Brad Dunse is a songwriter from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. He entertains audiences with songs like his heart wrenching She's Long Gone which earned him mention and a web link from Minnesota Public Radio's In The Loop program during their series on the homeless, to the light hearted country swing tune entitled I'll Never Leave Texas as performed by Twin Cities artist Shane Wyatt.

Besides a professional songwriter Brad is also a performer sharing his songs in the Greater Twin City Area and beyond. His family friendly style of guitar and vocals are displayed in such songs from his contemporary country ballad Jagged Edges, to Blindin’ Love where he took a lighte hearted approach to his own blindness and turned it into a love song with a pop feel, to the more percussive riff driven toe tapping' We're Getting' Down, all the way to the old time jazzy feel of Without You, and leave folks looking for a CD to take him home with them.

Brad is founder and editor of Twin Cities Muse home to a muse letter of same name and an on-line resource for songwriters in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. He is also an active member of the local Twin city Nashville Songwriter's Association International (NSAI) workshops, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), SongU an on-line songwriting university, and the Minnesota Association of Songwriters (MAS).

"Each second we are on this earth is a gift, my hope is to make those gifts given by the listening audience an enjoyable use of their time, and trust we share an equal exchange of valued appreciation for each other through my songs."
