As a founding father of the progressive country music scene in Austin, Texas, in the 1970s, Gary P. Nunn helped change the face of popular music. With a career spanning half a century – and no plans for stopping anytime soon – Nunn is a proud ambassador for the State of Texas, singing about his love of everything Texas in dance halls around the state and on concert stages around the world. His extraordinary gifts as a prolific songwriter and performer have established Gary P. Nunn as an icon of Lone Star music and earned him the respect of his peers and the admiration of countless country music fans worldwide. Garth Brooks called Nunn “a quintessential Austin troubadour” when talking about episodes in the Austin City Limits archives that were “like my childhood” by formative influences that included Nunn, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt and Jerry Jeff Walker. It’s no wonder that All Music Guide hails him as “a Texas music institution.”
