"Where has Brian Dunn been hiding? These songs are spectacular!"
Amanda Putz (CBC Radio)
“The new album is moody and grey, but depending on you own mood it can soother the soul like a stiff drink.”
Laura Stradiotto – The Sudbury Star (Sudbury ON)
“Brian Dunn’s last record with the November Allstars was my top 5 played album in 2005." - Mark Ringwood Spirit FM UK
"Brian Dunn’s last record with The November Allstar's, 'Flood the Exits' was one of my top 5 albums of November 2006. Make no mistake about, despite other musical imput: singer/songwriter Brian Dunn is driving the bus." - Jeff Goodes (CBC Fresh Air)
“To understand the music one must embrace all the heartaches and ditches in life, get your dreams and aspirations kicked around till they are unrecognizable and yet somehow find the strength to stand up with confidence, to let everyone know about it.”
Soo Music Radar – Soo Today (Sault Ste Marie, ON)
“Prolific Singer/Songwriter Brian Dunn embraces the definition of a true minstrel. This wandering frontier spirit is embodied in his lyrics and music. Musically, it feels like 'Canadian country'. Snow and mountains, wide open spaces and stormy waters, weather and wind, long lonely highways with nothing but your own thoughts for company; all shimmer and swirl around his smoky, bourbon -soaked, with a dollop of honey stirred in, voice. Lyrically, Brian's songs of loneliness, 'everything falling apart’, love found & often lost, the grace of company found in small town bars.”
Kathrin Allgoewer – Now Magazine and Lounge (Toronto ON)
“His sound falls under the same obscure alt-country genre as Elliot Brood, who may have coined the term “death country.” It’s real cowboy music, with lots of mournful harmonica and wallowing in your beer. But it’s really quite good.”
Kathryn Lysun – Thunder Bay’s Source (Thunder Bay ON)
“For the past few years we’ve been watching Brian’s career with great interest. We’ve showcased him in many industry conferences to great effect, and this year Brian was an official nominee for the Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards for Best Songwriter and Best Album with the November Allstars. We are very excited about Brian’s future, and is definitely someone to watch.”
Mike Large – Director of Outreach Services – Music, Film, and Motion. (Northern Ontario)
“Sometimes upbeat, depressing alt/country artist, Brian Dunn, hailing from Sudbury Ontario, is one of the brightest singer/songwriters to come out of the north. With comparisons in sound to Steve Earle and Wilco, Brian Dunn’s songs perfectly illustrate his sad existence and somehow stick in our heads.”
Stephen Alexander – Loplops Gallery (Sault Ste Marie ON)
“Stoner country rock delivered by a master of rustic drunken moods.”
Sheila Strathopoulos – The Apollo (Thunder Bay ON)
“The songs on his debut album are uniformly autumnal in tone. You get the sense that more than a few were conceived while stumbling home at 3 a.m., with sore lungs, an aching heart and a hint of snow in the air. They resonate the sounds of Whiskeytown, Steve Earl, and Wilco. Brian Dunn’s throaty, baritone just seems to stick in your head and never want to leave.”
Jim Moody – The Sudbury Star (Sudbury ON)
