Kate Dunn Music
Kate, songwriter and guitarist whose music grew out of life twists and hard-earned grace. After a big-hearted, big-bodied dog crashed into her and broke her leg, Kate picked up an acoustic guitar and never really put it down. [new meaning to break a leg!] Kate Dunn Music is proud to ride alongside the rockin' spirit of Next Rodeo Band, bringing original songs to life while celebrating the music we all know and love. From heartfelt Originals to crowd-favorite Covers, it's about connection, energy, and keeping live music alive, one stage, one song, and one unforgettable event at a time.
Kate's Original Songs
These are just a couple of samples from Kate's growing catalog of original songs — each one written from lived experience and performed with raw, purpose-driven passion. Alongside her originals, Kate also brings beloved cover tunes to life with her own unmistakable style. There's plenty more where these came from.
Empty Nest
One of Kate's first originals — born from the bittersweet silence of raising four children and watching them fly. The house got quiet, but the music got louder. Still rockin' on the broken ground.
ListenTootaloo Blues
Goodbyes are inevitable — but they don't have to break you. Tootaloo Blues is a reminder to hold onto laughter through the storms and strife, to find lightness even in life's hardest farewells, and to keep on rockin' no matter what walks out the door.
ListenSupporting Causes
Kate is passionate about giving back. Through music, she actively supports causes that matter to her community, using every note as an opportunity to raise awareness, bring people together, and help those in need. Women's health holds a special place in her heart, and she is proud to use her music to support and empower women. Giving back to women's health, one song at a time.
Boots2Boobs is a grassroots initiative where tips collected at our shows go directly to support women's health causes. Every dollar counts, and every song played is a step toward making a difference.
PURPOSE DRIVEN ROCK Next Rodeo Band. Relativ Jam Band.
We believe music has the power to heal, unite, and inspire. Kate and Next Rodeo Band channels that belief into every performance — playing with purpose, passion, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. Relativ Jam Band is the roots of it all — a family of musicians who came together through a shared love of music and a desire to create something real. From backyard jams to festival stages, Relativ Jams is where the journey began. Music is better together. Next Rodeo Band thrives on collaboration — with fellow musicians, with the crowd, and with the community. When sounds unite, something magical happens. Come be part of it.
A trip near Nazareth, PA led Kate and Woody to the Martin Guitar Factory, where they found an instrument that would become a steady companion. When COVID arrived the next year, she leaned into her marketing roots and formed a jam-band-style project, Relativ Jams, with musically gifted relatives who have been playing for years. During that same season, Kate lost her best musical friend to brain cancer, then faced her own breast cancer diagnosis just three months later, all while becoming an empty nester after raising four incredible children with husband, Woody. Through chemo she added electric guitar to her sound, letting music carry her when words alone could not. Post-treatment, Kate was invited to serve on the Women Who Rock Committee and alongside Bonny Diver, the Board of Hair Peace Charities, working with energized women to raise awareness and funding for women's health and music. Today, Kate writes original music rooted in resilience, connection, and the stories that shape us, still very much in the ride and grateful for every note.

"Hold Onto Laughter Through The Storms and Strife ..."
From original song, Tootaloo Blues. Kate Dunn's original music speaks to life and the journeys therein — the unexpected turns, the hard-won lessons, and the moments of grace that shape who we become. Each song is a story, and every story is an invitation to feel something real.
