Alex Dunn & Shawn Hess

  • La Reiña at El Rey Court 1862 Cerrillos Road Santa Fe, NM, 87505 United States (map)

From a seasonal life aboard commercial fishing boats in Southeast Alaska, to a hermitage in the high desert of northern New Mexico, Alex Dunn offers an appropriate blend of oceanic, cosmic, cowboy Americana on his sophomore album SOUTHERN STAR — released via COLOR-RED RECORDS in 2021 and produced by multi instrumentalist BRYANT MOORE (True Loves). Drums by SAM ESECSON, guitar by CAMERON PEACE, mando/fiddle by KIAN DYE. Recorded by Robb Davidson at Avast in Seattle and mastered by the legendary Greg Calbi (John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Dire Straits, Simon & Garfunkel, Talking Heads, Muddy Waters, you name it…)

Dunn’s debut SCATTERED POEMS was self released in 2018 and features ANNA TIVEL on fiddle and harmonies, ELI WEST on production, guitar, banjo, pedal steel and harmonies, SAM ESECSON on drums and engineering, Birch Pereira (bass), Bennet Pullen (bass), Colby Sander (dobro/guitar), Dan Rainard (guitar), Dino Latino (bass).

Laramie-based songster, Shawn Hess, commands a blend of skillful songwriting and vintage country-western style. At times heart-wrenching, tender or darkly witty, but always deeply personal, he delivers a unique brand of Wyoming storytelling.

Presented by our friends at Rambler Sparkling Water!
