Tess Dunn | Pass The Bucket | VANS
Originally published on Apr 23, 2012 - Tess Dunn is a 17-year old singer-songwriter phenom who hails from Santa Cruz, California.
Tess' raspy vocals, mature piano compositions and alternative sound transcend her years. She started playing the piano at age 5, began writing songs at age 11 and first took to the stage at age 12. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF), an incurable life-threatening
disease which causes progressive lung damage, as well as epilepsy and diabetes, Tess faces issues of mortality that infuse her music and
lyrics with radiant richness and haunting depth.
Tess has performed throughout California, including at the Vans Warped Tour at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View in 2011 and 2010, and at the San Francisco Warped Tour in 2009.
She has had successful solo shows in Santa Cruz County, and has opened for artists including Karla Bonoff, Nina Storey, Ari Shine, Adrienne Pierce, and Iris DeMent.
Tess says living with CF is "...almost like having a clock ticking over your head, but it has a way of putting things in perspective." She "finds a certain beauty in the randomness of life," and her music explores issues of love, trust and relationships.
An affecting advocate for anyone battling the challenges of chronic disease, Tess encourages others due to to her take no prisoners zest for life.
