Kenton Dunson – Progressions
In November 2009, multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Kenton Dunson began renting rooms at various hotels in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. with the intention of utilizing them as recording retreats. This process created a 13-song record that is entitled “The Kenton Dunson Progressions”.
I mastered this record last month and had a great time working with Kenton. He’s a man with a plan and sticks to it. While at the same time, if things needed to be fixed, he stepped it up.
Kenton’s music is hard to explain. He definitely conjures up sounds from Stevie Wonder and Prince. But those are just what first comes to mind. His music speaks for itself.
The CD Release Show with his stellar backing band is June 3rd at the 8×10 and but sadly (however, not for Kenton) sold out. Here are two of my favorite tracks.

I’ve been fortunate to collaborate on music projects with Kenton for a few years now – I had high expectations for his solo release, and “Progressions” exceeds them. The more I listen, the more I like it. His unique approach to composition provides the perfect canvas for clever, soulful lyrics. His dedication to his craft is tangible, and we listeners get to reap the rewards, Check it out.
