In certain pockets of the Canadian West, Edmonton's Michael Dunn is notorious. Half a lifetime of drifting and carousing can do that for a guy. A storyteller at heart, Dunn's songs are written to be read. They're born from years spent drifting from tavern to campfire, from Greyhound buses to half-ton trucks. He weaves his own experiences through well-crafted, poignant songs he delivers with heart, honesty, and an ample measure of country charm. With his band, The Moanin' After, his country-based songs are charged with the rolling pulse of juke-joint blues, and the dynamic warmth of friends playing together around a campfire, bringing roots music back to its two most defining elements. Whether alone with his guitar, or backed by The Moanin' After, the songs and stories of Michael Dunn reflect the good times, the hard times, and the sometimes to come. There may be cussin'.
