Brian Andrew Dunne (May 8, 1989) is an American singer and songwriter from New York. After a pair of acclaimed albums, he released the album Selling Things on April 10, 2020. His music weaves through themes of existential anxiety and the search for meaning, alongside his own brand of sardonic humor.

Early Life

Dunne was born in the Hudson Valley and raised in a working class background. His father worked in a factory and his mother was a secretary. He began playing guitar at 6 years old.

Career

Dunne moved to New York in 2011[1] and began playing around the city, granting him attention from Atlantic Records and releasing a pair of acclaimed albums —2015’s ‘Songs From The Hive’ and 2017’s ‘Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements’— that garnered frequent airplay on SiriusXM and helped land him tour dates with Cat Power and Justin Townes Earle to Rosanne Cash and The Secret Sisters, alongside high profile spots at The Philadelphia Folk Festival[2] and NPR's Mountain Stage. His 2020 release, "Selling Things" was released to critical acclaim[3], with Rolling Stone[4] calling the lead single a "stunner." His song "New Tattoo" became a radio fixture in the Netherlands[5], and in March of 2022, he will embark on a headline tour of the country. He is also working on his 4th LP, poised to be released in 2023.

Personal Life

Dunne lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and cat.
