Colorado local, lifelong guitarist and all-around cool guy David Nunn has been steeped in a rich heritage of music throughout his career. From the heart of New Orleans blues to the pining tunes of Appalachia, from the classic rock across the pond to the folk songwriters and bluegrass musicians that define rural America, David brings a wellspring of soulful influence to the stage.

In both his covers and original material, his sincerity, musicianship, and deep connection to the craft are palpable – infectious, even.
