KEN DUNN 

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.

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.

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 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! 

It was an honour to perform once again at the Serenity Coffee House, an initiative of Feeding Windsor. Thank you also for the much needed work you do - feeding bodies and souls 🎶❤️🙏

Whitevale Porchfest 2022 is a wrap! Rising from the viral ashes, this wonderful grassroots festival returned in style with 25+ acts on six stages in this idyllic hamlet near Pickering, Ontario. Many thanks to visionary Mark Lowe, his hard working team, sponsors, and the residents of Whitevale. In addition to performing a one hour concert in front of an attentive audience, I had the pleasure of catching a number of amazing acts, including my new favourite- Sleeping Bees. 

Porchfests are annual music events held across the United States and in Canada on front porches. Started in Ithaca, New York in 2007, porchfest events bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community.  

After what seems like an eternity, characterized by Covid concerns and family responsibilities, I am thrilled to announce that Anna Green will once again be joining me for a few shows, as our duo GYPSY STARFISH returns to performing.

I recorded a series of videos at home on Georgian Bay's Sunset Beach during the summer of 2022. This first one features "Don't Believe", a song about maintaining faith, love, and hope in the face of negativity. I debuted this song at the Festival of Friends in Hamilton, Ontario almost 30 years ago and still find it a source of strength and encouragement! #folkmusic #georgianbay #kendunnmusic #trespassmusic

Many thanks to Rusty Crowell and Jan Alba for spinning "Still I Believe" on Philly Folk Scene on WPPM-FM Philadelphia !!

This fragile respite from the virus continues to cultivate immense gratitude for the opportunity to once again play live music for you. Many thanks to my fellow compatriots Karen Morand and Gillian Nicola and the incredible Klages clan who's vision and hard work continue to bring live music to the engaging community of Desboro. Thanks to Karen I am now stuck with a new nickname- Ken "The Krusher" 😳
