As a nine-year-old Dunn saw his first concert when T-Bone Walker played a free outdoor concert. At the age of 12 he bought a harmonica and began playing it at parties and with street players. He grew up listening to radio station W-I-L-D, initially taking a liking to Curtis Mayfield and Smokey Robinson. Later on he started listening to Archie Shepp and John Coltrane. He also bought records by Sonny Boy Williamson (I and II). In his early career he played only acoustic harmonica.

After seeing the Junior Wells/Buddy Guy Band he put his first real band together, Blue Lightning. They played material by Junior Wells, Jimmy Rogers, Aleck "Rice" Miller (Sonny Boy Williamson II), and also James Cotton and Muddy Waters. Dunn's second band was called the Honeydrippers which was a guitar/saxophone driven group.

Dunn presently lives in the Netherlands. He has performed with James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin, Roy Eldridge, Big Walter Horton, Lurrie Bell, Jimmy Rogers and Big Mama Thornton. He works as a record producer and gives master classes in harmonica. He regularly tours with The Love Gloves and The International Blues Band and also appears as a guest musician with different artists, for instance Big Jack Johnson. /Wikipedia

Keith Dunn Band plays rhythmic trance blues for dancers and music lovers. It is a unique four piece group; harmonica, two guitars and drums, no bass. Their deep groove, multi-styled songs are driven by a hypnotic beat with the heat of a hot southern night. The audience feels the emotion from the band - the mood is intense, a dance party is guaranteed. The strength and appeal of the Keith Dunn Band is the band itself. Four enthusiastic, sharp-dressed musicians of diverse ages, from four different countries, who are all masters of their instruments and who, as a band, love the challenge of making each concert better than the one before.

Keith Dunn is the band's Boston born, charismatic front man. He learned his profession performing for many years in venues across America along side the masters of blues, jazz and rock and roll. This is evident in his stage performance and flowing playing style. His distinctly percussive, inventive harmonica lines dance with the melody of the songs. He has a voice you would find in an American juke-joint.

Personnel: Keith Dunn (vocals, harmonica); Renaud Lesire (guitar, vocals track 7); Bart De Mulder (guitar); Alex Lex (drums).

Keith Dunn & Klaas Wendling - Love To See You Dance

Album: Love To See You Dance
Size: 98,0 MB
Time: 42:04
File: MP3 @ 320K/s
Released: 2026
Styles: Blues, harmonica blues
Art: Front, back

1. Need To Make A Dollar (2:23)
2. Deep In My Heart For You (4:26)
3. Rock This House (2:41)
4. Mighty Long Time (4:01)
5. Strange Land (3:43)

7. Rollin' And Tumblin' (4:39)
8. Who Do You Love (3:42)
9. We're Two Of A Kind (2:45)
10. Boogie Woogie (I May Be Wrong) (2:59)
11. Baby, Baby, Baby (3:34)
12. Do It If You Wanna (2:19)

The duo line up on this album is as stripped-down as it is sonorous: vocals (Keith Dunn, lead vocals, and Klaas Wendling, backing vocals), harmonica (Keith Dunn), and double bass (Klaas Wendling). The interpretation of the twelve songs is rooted in traditional blues, yet simultaneously imbued with the characteristic swinging style of both artists.

Klaas Wendling blends downbeat and backbeat rhythms with the double bass alone, creating a rich groove. This provides the solid rhythmic foundation for Keith Dunn’s unique harmonica playing and vocals, both characterized by his distinctive sound. Since his award-winning solo album “Alone With The Blues” (Deetone Records, 1998), Keith Dunn has been considered a master of nuanced phrasing. On the album “Love To See You Dance,” he uses the harmonica simultaneously as a rhythmic and melodic instrument, creating a particularly captivating and well-rounded sound.

The twelve songs (five of which were written by Keith Dunn) on “Love To See You Dance” oscillate between traditional Chicago blues shuffle (“Deep In My Heart For You”), swing (“Boogie Woogie – I May Be Wrong”), and rock ‘n’ roll energy (“Rock This House”). Contemporary social moods are also palpable in the interpretation of songs like “Strange Land” and “Trouble Is Going On,” which speak of uprooting, alienation, and loneliness. /Bluestown Music

The unconventional songs and arrangements of Keith Dunn & The Love Gloves consist of the band's powerful minimalist rhythm, virtuoso harmonica playing and traditional finger-picking and bottleneck slide as well as single note style on guitar. Added to this are vocal harmonies, background singing and songs that use two lead-vocalists. This creates the band's original style and sound, Delta Roll. The sound is based on the delta, country and juke-joint blues of the 1920s to 1940s but also incorporates the harder electrified style of the 1950s and at times mixes the two sounds and styles. Added to this, are the harmony vocal arrangements of the 1960s.

Keith Dunn & The Love Gloves have its source in the alliance of harmonica player and singer, Keith Dunn, with the trio, The Love Gloves. Keith Dunn, who was born in Boston, has received several awards for the songwriting on his album “Alone With The Blues" as well as the Talking Blues Award for the live performance of the songs on that CD. He has performed with a myriad of Blues greats including Big Jack Johnson, Lurrie Bell, Jimmy Rogers and Muddy Waters. As a trio, The Love Gloves, from Berlin, have received the Berlin Blues Award 2004 and the Dresden Blues Award 2001, played in a German TV movie  and wrote the soundtrack for a Genion commercial spot.

After meeting at several jam sessions on various European music festivals, the quartet decided to present the personal energy and musical exhilaration of those after hour sessions in a band format. The excitement, variation and flexibility of the band´s concerts spring from the fact that they can play multiple instruments and have three singers, as well as their enthusiasm for the music.
