Album Notes

Mark Dunn is an artist of integrity. A poet, journalist and masterful guitarist, Mark's music is both melodic and profound. From reminisces of childhood romps in the tall grass, as in the song "Real Life," to scathing commentary on the nuclear arms race (TV Town) and critical observances of profit-driven exploitation (Rocket), each song is a miniature novel, a complete world of its own.

His material is driven by a deep spirituality and compassionate concern for humanity. Mark Dunn is someone who, for the lack of a better analogy, channels and embodies the energies of the universe. But don't take my word for it, read what these critics have to say, then have a listen for yourself.

"If you're looking to be mollified by sugar-coated lyrics trumpeting the
latest dance-craze or lamenting the end of a sweet summer romance,
don't look to Mark Dunn to be your pied piper."
--Jeffrey Ougler,
The Sault Star

"...[Floodgate] blends elements of acoustic folk, pop, blues, rock, and
poetry into a collection of songs that please the ear, and the soul... Mark
has created a perfect album that one listens to for lyrical and emotional
content rather than big beats and over-production. This album takes me to a
place of peace and solitude...I can't recommend this album enough."
