When I read the media kit description of, The Dunwells at this afternoons’ Outside the Box Festival, I had no idea what I was in for. It described the music of this band from England as a blend of acoustic and electronic roots music. How was that going to play out? Well the album is considered stunning and The Dunwells, two Brothers and some cousins, are as the media kit says, “Utterly Natural”.

The acoustic and the electric guitars sings a melody that will remind you of the single note areas of a Santana song or the guitar licks from the Isley Brothers remake of, “Summer Breeze”. But it’s the singing performance harmonies by The Dunwells that are completely unmatched in any genre of music today! The words to each song are clear and easy to understand. Each instrument performed by the band provides emotion to the story the song is telling. It all adds up to great music not easily produced, but connecting well with any member of any audience.
