Influences
On a late night drive in the dead of winter, somewhere between Poughkeepsie, and Brookfield, Rick Tedesco told Dennis Dunaway that he would organize the musicians and record his original songs in his new studio. Soon after, as those sessions progressed, it became apparent that the creative chemistry among the players was exceptionally strong, so what began as a solo endeavor became The Dennis Dunaway PROJECT.
From 1964 to 1976, as the founding member of the group known as Alice Cooper, Dennis Dunaway collaborated on the music and theatrical staging that pioneered the most elaborate of arena rock productions. When Schools Out became the biggest selling single in the history of Warner Brothers Records, and the Billion Dollar Babies album hit ..1 on the charts in Britain and America, the original Alice Cooper group went on to sell more than twenty five million records worldwide. Dennis's signature bass lines that dominated the original Alice Cooper albums are now a driving force in The Dennis Dunaway PROJECT.
Influenced by Glam, the second wave of British bands, and all things theatrical in music, Rick Tedesco began playing guitar in the early 70s. And more recently, he played and sang on Ian Hunters "Rant" and engineered the "Shrunken Heads" sessions. Rick also runs his own successful business (guitarhangar.com) where he sells vintage and rare musical instruments. Russ Wilson had played drums in several bands with Rick, as well as in the capacity of a studio musician. Besides his solid rock drumming, Russ also studied jazz, which adds a sophisticated backbeat to the group and influences their arrangements.
Ed Burns began playing piano when he was only five years old. As he progressed, he perfected a growling technique on the Hammond Organ, which, combined with Eds arsenal of keyboard enhancements, magnifies the massive wall of sound created by The Dennis Dunaway PROJECT. However, it was Eds powerful voice that initially caught the bands attention.
Drawn to their enthusiastic energy, award winning songwriter, Ian Hunter, began to show up at The Dennis Dunaway PROJECT recording sessions. Thats when things really kicked into overdrive, said Dennis. One element of our music is rock n roll and Ian is a true master.
In concert, The Dennis Dunaway PROJECT accentuates their original hard rock compositions with new renditions of the Cooper classics. And because the band features two accomplished lead vocalists, Rick and Ed, as well as Dennis's heartfelt character vocals, their audiences hear a variety of musical styles. This is a fun group because all of us genuinely enjoy what were doing, says Dennis.
