Ken Dunn’s music "sneaks into you feet, heart, and soul."        - No Depression, The Roots Music Journal

Ken writes, performs, and records with the intention of promoting peace, social, and environmental justice. Alternatively light-hearted and pensive, contemporary, yet infused with tradition, this is music focused on positive human values, with diversity and inclusivity at its core.

SO GREAT TO BE BACK TOURING IN ONTARIO  

As much as I love wandering across this continent playing music, it is always a special treat coming home to my home province of Ontario. As June begins to wind down, I would like to express my gratitude for the continuing support of fans, venues, and media, as I close in on the half way mark of this wonderful summer tour. Please check my upcoming shows as the tour continues until October. Hope to see you soon. And don’t forget, I would love to perform a house concert in your home town. As a special treat, Anna may continue to join me on several future dates 🎶💕 Stay tuned!

ANTHOLOGY VOLUME 2 DROPS MAY 2 !! 

I am excited beyond belief !! Just over one year since the release of Anthology, Volume 1, I am thrilled to announce that Anthology, Volume 2 will be released to folk radio worldwide and all major streaming platforms on May 2 !!

My intention in releasing this record was to share a body of work spanning a period of 30 years that had only        been available on a limited basis due to a lack of resources.  Now in my 70’s, I wanted to ensure that these songs had an opportunity to reach a broader audience to do their healing work, because, as they say, carpe diem - there is no time like the present. 

Anthology Volume 2 features 18 carefully curated tracks, many of which are from studio and live recordings that were either unreleased or subject to limited distribution.

Thank you so much to the countless individuals who helped make this dream a reality, from the most amazing group of musicians, fans, friends, and family who have believed in me, especially my beloved Anna.

A special thank you to Michelle Fortier and Larry Ahearn at Trespass Music for their past support. I wish you both well on your pending retirement and the referral to Art Menius Radio for radio distribution of this release.

NEW VIDEO: IF YOU'RE LOST (OFFICIAL) 

Well it's been quite the musical year, despite the vicissitudes of an unpredictable and tenacious virus. This is the first official video from Anthology, Volume 1, featuring the lead track If You're Lost. My wish is that it brings much hope and joy into your life as we enter the new year. Peace, love, and music always, Ken.

LIVE @ THE BUNKER: WILD HORSE 

Sending a little musical love your way with this original tune recorded live at the Bunker Cafe and Recording Studio in Stratford, Ontario by Cory Mullen.  Hope you enjoy the loving vibe!

THE REALIZATION OF A GRAND VISION 

The Red Barn Brewing Company near Blenheim, Ontario is more than the name would suggest. The brain child of owner and visionary Denny Vervaet and family, "the barn" doubles as a community centre, hosting a variety of events, including live music.  It was an honour and pleasure to perform on their wonderful stage!
