Bob Dunn

Robert Lee Dunn was an American Western swing steel guitarist. Influenced by influential Hawaiian lap steel guitar player Sol Hoʻopiʻi, Dunn played in his own original blues-influenced style and was one of the first to record an electric guitar, preceding other country music guitarists following him shortly. He preceded by over three years George Barnes, Leonard Ware and, slightly later, Eddie Durham. On January 27, 1935, Dunn became one of the first musicians to record an electrically amplified instrument as a member of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies. Dunn also played steel guitar in numerous other Western swing groups including those of Cliff Bruner and one of Moon Mullican's earlier bands. Dunn also had his own group, The Vagabonds, featuring Mullican and Bruner. Dunn was inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame in 1992.
