Why this name?
Max Bunyan (my real name)

aka

Max Bunyan & The NEW American Patriot LOVE Song

....Because....We are living in War-Torn Times.

As a U.S. Army Veteran, I write and produce a lot of "Songs for Soldiers and The People Who Love Them".

I believe that global challenges compel us to display a NEW and greater level of Patriotism here in America.

Max Bunyan & The NEW American Patriot LOVE Song....reflects our times and what my music is all about.

I believe that "The AMERICAN PATRIOT LOVE SONG" is also a NEW GENRE.
Do you play live?
I had several performances during this past spring and summer. I've performed as a singer/songwriter in 100 concerts throughout the State of Kansas....and over 700 performances with the U.S. 7th Army Soldiers' Chorus in Europe during my military service.

My only performances are for The Good Samaritan Society in Dodge City, KS.

Now I'm exclusively a Song Writer looking for a Music Publisher who can connect my songs with profitable music opportunities.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I now see it as a world wide "Open Mic" (an idea Peter Spellman shares in his book "The Musician's Internet")

Today's technology provides an opportunity for greater and faster connection with music and fans alllllllllllll around the world.

This ability simply didn't exist 20 or 40 years ago...But it's happening right NOW!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes....and even with a good Indie label.

Let's Talk About It.....

I read a lot of books and articles on the music business.

Many major labels are in a self-destruct mode right now. Signing with a major label is not the "Prize" that it once used to be.

Today, being a serious Indie artist also is not easy...In fact it can be overwhelming some times.

But if you work smarter and harder there are a lot of opportunities.

Some music biz writers indicate that in today's world, contracts with major labels only seem to happen when you've already done all of the work ....and then you don't really need them.

This business is not for the timid or faint hearted.

But, Yes, I'm open to any opportunities that a Record Label or a Musical Publisher could provide for me.
Band History:
I retired from my 30 year/day job nearly 5 years ago and now work full time as a Singer...Songwriter... Recording Artist..and Music Producer.

My First 15 Minutes of Fame...Came in 700 performances with the U.S. 7th Army Soldiers Chorus. We sang in concert halls and military bases all over Europe for 3 years. This was a defining musical moment in my life.

My Second 15 Minutes of Fame is Right Now as a solo artist...

I'm transitioning from live performances to Producing my own "Multiple Musical Personalities" in a variety of genres

(Christian, Jazz Vocals, Jesus Jazz/Piano, Contemporary Christian Cowboy, Country/Western, White Acoustic Gospel with a Touch of Soul, Soft Rock/Pop, Folk, Novelty, and Patriot Love Songs)
Your influences?
Fans say I sound like:

1."The Johnny Cash of Kansas" with a good upper vocal register

2. A mellow ballad sound like Willie Nelson...

3. A relaxing lounge sound...

4. A Music Therapist..."Aricept and Ativan" in the Key of C

5. My minister says I sound like a Lounge Singer

6. A good musical friend says that I sound "BEYOND MELLOW.....SOOTHING MUSIC"

7. A Gentle Anesthetic

7. A fan in San Diego, California says my "Soldier" songs are special...different...unique.

8. Ray Benson (Asleep At The Wheel)

Who do I sound like to you?

**************************************************
Artists who have shaped my music are

1. Andrae Crouch is still a major influence on my Gospel music.

2. Jack Hannah and Sons of the San Joaquin who continue to inspire me with their songs of The Great American Cowboy and the old West.

3. Antonio Carlos Jobim the great Brazilian composer. I love his light rhythmic touch on piano...with popular Bossa Nova and pulsating Sambas.

4. Jazz greats appearing at The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California during the early '60s are an indelible ;;;;link to my Jazz piano and vocal expressions.
Favorite spot?
As a performer with the 7th Army Soldiers' Chorus and during my military service, I've traveled to London, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Ireland, Wales, Denmark, The Isle of Sylt...

Each one of these places holds a special charm or beauty that I enjoyed at the time.

I've lived in Miami, LA, and numerous places in small town America...But, I love world famous Dodge City, Kansas and enjoy writing songs about my home town.

I also like Sand Key on Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Equipment used:
I play a Briarwood Acoustic/Electric Guitar and
3 Roland Interactive-Arranger Keyboards
Anything else...?
We are living in perilous times.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REAL ANSWER that I know for you and me and our world today.

I hope you'll....

"Let My Music Touch Your Heart...and Change Our World"...

All for the Glory of God.

I really like this song, Max. It contrasts the smoothness of your voice to the harshness of the setting. Have you brought it into a jail? I believe it would be a consolation to the suffering souls there. To paraphrase the Bible in modern English, "Lord, when have we ever seen you begging for a dollar, shivering with a thin coat, or sitting on a jail cot wishing you had never been born?" "Let me tell you....whenever you have helped those needy ones, you have helped me." Bless your ministry, Max!
