My guest today is John Bunzli, an award-winning singer/songwriter and skilled guitarist who has written 72 songs in the past 72 weeks. John lives in the lovely town of Loveland, CO where he resides in a really neat building designed specifically to house local artists. Welcome to episode 3! I first met John at The Song School at Folks Fest in Lyons, CO - a special place for singer/songwriters to learn and network. We very literally had a fireside chat about music and played songs with a group of other musicians attending Song School, and we’ve kept in touch through the years.

If you’re a songwriter wondering why you have that urge, the itch you can’t seem to scratch, this is the episode for you. John and I discuss the responsibility songwriters have, where to find inspiration, how to act on it, and he talks about how his process changed after a brain injury he sustained in 2019.

John has toured extensively as a solo artist and most recently has been captivating audiences with his new band of talented young front range players.
