Portland Oregon native John Bunzow’s mix of eclectic musical influences – melding blues, country, rock and even jazz – have helped establish him as an original artist of heartfelt depth, substance and style. He is a masterful guitarist and songwriter firmly in the Americana genre.
John enjoys tailoring his acoustic performance to the audience, by covering songs from James Taylor, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Dwight Yoakum as well as originals! His delivery is personal, and keeps fans coming back!
After beginning his musical career in the Pacific Northwest playing in popular all-original bands the Cowboy Angels, X-Angels and more for over two decades, John set his sights on songwriter heaven – Nashville – scoring a songwriting contract with EMI Nashville/Famous Music and a recording contract with Liberty/Capitol Records. He quickly found his services in big demand with Nashville recording artists and had the opportunity to write for and perform with some of country and rock music’s biggest names.
Greg Johnson, Cascade Blues Association President said of John’s latest album “Concrete Paradise” (2020), “you can call it Americana, or you can call it roots music. It may, for example, bring to mind songwriters and artists like Steve Earle, John Hiatt, or maybe Dave Alvin. Those are righteous comparisons because John’s talents are definitely on par alongside those well-known musicians. But however it may come across to you, there is only one word that is most fitting for a true description, and that word is wow!”
