“Delta Roll” is a style based on delta, country and juke-joint blues of the 1920s to‘40s; it mixes in the harder electrified style of the‘50s, and uses harmony vocal arrangements of the ‘60s. It’s the band follow-up to Keith Dunn’s "Alone With The Blues."

About the music...
The unconventional songs and arrangements of KEITH DUNN AND 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. The sound of KEITH DUNN AND THE LOVE GLOVES instils the pulse of barrelhouses to the young audiences of modern bars and clubs and is a refreshing addition to music festivals.
About the band...
KEITH DUNN AND 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 “Alone With The Blues” CD 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 Big Mama Thornton. As a trio, The Love Gloves, from Berlin, have received the Berlin Blues Award 2004 and the Dresden Blues Award 2001, played in the German TV movie “Weg!” 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.
The band has recently gone into the studio and made recordings that combine all of these diverse elements. We hope you enjoy KEITH DUNN AND THE LOVE GLOVES latest CD release, “DELTA ROLL.”
