Americana & Roots

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,” 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. 

For fans of Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, James Taylor, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
