DESCRIPTION:
Jackson Browne's "The Pretender" performed by Patrick Dunn.

When I sit down, alone with my guitar, this is one of the songs I find myself playing. Jackson Browne has a unique way of connecting to the underlying heart of everyday life. To me, this song says just about everything needed to be said about what it's like to be an artist while yearning for the stability of a normal life.

Thanks for watching and listening.

Patrick Dunn writes and plays music in the tradition of the old soul, the rambler, the traveling singer-songwriter -- characters found along the ever-growing timeline of honest music. Pulling from his influences, Patrick plays a mix of folk, soul, country, and rock and roll that has come to be called, for better and for worse, Americana.

Originally from a small town on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, Patrick has lived everywhere from Boston to Los Angeles to Brooklyn to his current home in Sacramento, California. Along the way, he has released two albums, a bunch of demos, and performed countless shows in towns across the US. He got married, and he went back to school to earn a master's degree in fiction writing.

Patrick is currently planning his next release, an EP of songs about finding "home," for early 2015. He's also preparing a novel and several short stories for future publication.
