Five Minutes With Bryan Dunn

Bryan Dunn is a regular on the NYC music scene with strong connections to Austin.  Photos of his recent showbiz wedding are all over Facebook, and it looked like a great celebration.  So Indie Sounds caught up with the married man himselft ...


The Fallen Angel by Emily Rawlings

Indie Sounds: You recently tied the knot with Emily Rawlings.  How was the big day?

Bryan Dunn: I'm a little biased, but it was probably the best wedding ever.  We met at a karaoke night at Public Assembly four years ago, and since Larry Hyland (who works a lot with Local Correspondents) is one of the owners, it was the only place we considered.  Emily's dad did a short ceremony, then Matt Basile was MC for the rest of the night.
