He
devoured 60s rock in high school, especially the Beatles,
but after moving to Austin for college, he started listening
to anything available in the eclectic music scene there,
rock acts such as David Garza and Johnny Goudie, blues
musicians like Guy Forsyth, and acoustic vaudevillian excess
with the Asylum Street Spankers.

After
moving to NYC and having some success as the front man for
Simple Thing and the guitarist for Maggie Kim, he struck out
on his own, put together the basic lineup for the Shambles,
and plays frequent shows both solo and with the band around
the city.

 Bryan
Dunn has been performing both solo and in bands in Austin,
Tx. and NYC since 1993.
The projects have ranged from straightforward rock groups
(Echo Juliet and Simple Thing), to 10000 Maniacs-esque folk
rock (3 Penny Opera) and ultimately to Bryan Dunn and the
Shambles which combine all the myriad influences into one
glorious rock and roll mess.
His uncle, who toured in a rock band when he was younger,
first taught him how to play guitar when he was 14, and
since then, he's been playing and writing songs whether or
not anybody was around to listen to them.
Of course, Bryan wrote this and finds it a bit odd to refer
to myself in the third person.
