Denny Bixby Oregon Music Hall of Famer Denny Bixby is known in his hometown of Portland, Oregon and far beyond as a creative, intuitive, and highly respected bassist and singer. His work with multiple Grammy and other award-winning, world-renowned artists (Rodney Crowell, Nanci Griffith, Buddy Miller, Suzy Bogguss, Chet Atkins, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea) and with Portland's own stellar musical community (Quarterflash, Curtis Salgado, Jon Koonce, Lloyd Jones, John Bunzow, Jack McMahon, Thad Beckman, Gary Ogan and many others) is well-documented.
Upon returning to Portland in 2005 after 18 years in the Nashville, Tennessee area, Denny continued his evolution as a musician by concentrating on songwriting and playing guitar.
Denny has two solo albums to his credit. 2003's Fish Out of Water, recorded in Nashville, showcases his love of contemporary jazz and fusion with 10 original songs, and features his arrangements and production.
His latest collection of songs, released in 2017, is entitled Joyride. The music falls into the Americana category and features roots, rock, folk, and country-influenced original material.
John Bunzow’s mix of eclectic influences- melding blues, country, rock and even jazz-has helped establish him as an original artist of heartfelt depth, substance and style.
He’s as likely to draw on his love of country legend Merle Haggard or barroom bard Tom Waits, as he is the smooth R&B and soul of Marvin Gaye, the folk wisdom of Bob Dylan, or the blues of Albert King.
During his early years, Bunzow performed with bands that favored original music, including co-founding iconic Portland Band the Cowboy Angels. Bunzow commutes regularly to Nashville from his home base in Portland.
John forges personal connections that keep audiences coming back.
