First time collaboration with two powerhouse musicians who hold each other in the highest regard. Expect an evening of inspiring original songs, fiery finger-style and ragtime guitar and inventive ukulele playing.
Moe Dixon is a familiar name on the festival and concert club circuit with inspiring original songs, fiery finger-style and ragtime guitar and inventive ukulele playing.
Moe gained national recognition through his contributions to the children’s group Rosen, Shontz, and Dixon. He’s written themes to Bob Hope specials and Warren Miller ski movies, and performed with the Wheeling Symphony and the West Suburban Symphony of Chicago.
He’s shared the stage with such familiar names as Phil Oches, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Tom Rush, Nicolette Larson, Doc Watson, Maria Muldaur, Rory Block, Odetta, Jonathon Edwards, John Denver, Bill Danoff, Michael Johnson, Little River Band, The Hellacasters, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Three Dog Night, Eric Johnson, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Buddy Guy, Sonny Landreth, and Robben Ford.
John Bunzow is an inspired and innovative American roots singer/songwriter/guitarist of depth, substance and groove.
“John destroys the boundaries between great rock, country, r&b, and soul music by owning his noteworthy sound with respect to the great artists who came before.” Ray Kennedy, Five time Grammy winner. Producer, Engineer, Musician (Steve Earle, Billy Joe Shaver)
Bunzow, based in Portland with regular commutes to Nashville, has built a long and storied career. Infused early with a strong love of Southern music – thanks to kin from that part of the country – John has developed his own unique fusion of roots rock and blues, seasoned with everything from reggae and country rock to pop.
�He counts among his “Mt. Rushmore of influences,” as he puts it, Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, Tom Waits, Mike Bloomfield, Albert King, country picker Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, Steve Earle, and Jerry Garcia, among many.
During his early years, Bunzow performed with bands that favored original music, including the Cowboy Angels and the X-Angels, as well as working as a solo singer/songwriter and even trafficking in a country music tour of truck stops and county fairs. John found himself bouncing around various music scenes including San Francisco, Seattle and LA. But it was in Nashville that his songwriting created new opportunities, Bunzow says. “My focus was always as a songwriter, and that is what brought me to Nashville – twice.”
John is a warm and engaging performer who is adept at tailoring his performance to the room. He often plays at wineries and brewpubs.
For fans of Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, James Taylor
