Jared Dunn(New Songs Soon)

About Me


Fayetteville, Arkansas singer/songwriter Jared Dunn is living a dream. He released his debut solo album, aptly named The First Try, in June 2008, amidst playing in three different bands, sporadically touring and working as a session drummer. With a highly rhythmic piano style reminiscent of Ben Folds and a singing voice that sounds a bit like Liam Gallagher, Dunn is bound to garner attention from his sound alone. The nine songs presented on The First Try display a songwriter with a lot to say and a strong piano rock sound to drive the message. Lyrical density and the rhythmic nature of Dunn's writing might tend to overwhelm listeners a bit at first, but once you're up to speed it's quite an experience. - Wildy
