John Dunnigan moved to the Flathead Valley in 1978. He had been playing his guitar and singing to earn a living for several years and found the Montana Valley a great place to live and work.
Keeping busy, he started a family and raised two sons through his music career. Over the course of finding places to perform, Dunnigan started playing at fairs and festivals, gaining a reputation as a great entertainer. Oftentimes, when playing at a county fair somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, he would volunteer to play for local non-profit organizations.
Dunnigan continued performing throughout the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Always returning to his home base of Whitefish, Montana. John has recorded many of his songs and made them available on CD.
His sons grew and completed college, financed by John’s continuing performing schedule. Dunnigan’s son, Andy, followed in his footsteps and is the leader of a nationally popular bluegrass band, “The Little Smokies.” Dunnigan continues to contribute to his community, playing for North Valley Music School fundraisers and other non-profits in the Flathead Valley.
Wintertime finds him playing four nights a week at area venues drawing crowds of locals and visitors alike. Help us to welcome John Dunnigan to our neck of the woods on March 18th! Never miss a chance to listen to live music!
