DUNN & WILT formed their innovative collaboration in the late summer of 2010, recognizing the unique fit their songwriting strengths were with one another. Beginning with some minor projects capturing fresh approaches to classic hymns, they blended their love of today's ambient music and folk rock with their own instrumental and lyrical penchants.

Their ‘modular’ approach to integrating the contemporary chorus with rich hymnody is unique among writers today.

In live settings, Dunn & Wilt lead experiential evenings of ancient-future art and music on swelling synths, hammered dulcimers, guitar, piano, lap dulcimer and more. For them, worship expression that is ‘wordless’ and instrumental is as vital to the soul as worship expressions with lyrics. They lead each with a sense of joy, blending worship experiences with storytelling and a call to mission. Their passion is to artfully reveal a God who is intimately involved with every person’s stories of joy or suffering.
