The "Car EP": A Story of Resilience
Brian Hunsaker is an artist defined by resilience, melody, and power. His work is a testament to the idea that the drive to create will always find a way. This is the story at the heart of his latest project, the 5-song EP "Where Dreamers Fall." A uniquely intimate and resourceful collection, the entire EP was written and recorded by Hunsaker in his Ford Freestyle during his work lunch breaks.

The project was born from a period of immense change and challenge. After a two-year musical silence while focusing on being a new father to twin toddlers, the sudden passing of his best friend—the very person who put a guitar in his hands in high school—became the profound catalyst for his return to music. To ensure his voice was ready for the demanding new material, he began dedicated training with vocal coach Susan Carr. With his instrument honed but no access to a traditional studio, the car became his sanctuary—a place to process grief and record his powerful return.

A History in the Seattle Scene
Long before the "Car EP," Brian Hunsaker built a formidable reputation in the Seattle music scene. His original instrumental album, "Across the Galaxy," showcased his virtuosic guitar work, garnering rave reviews from a host of online and print publications (view archived press here). He brought the album's intricate compositions to the stage with his band, Triaxe, playing to enthusiastic crowds at popular venues across the Pacific Northwest. His role in the popular Dio tribute band Stand Up & Shout and as a co-producer of the NW ShredFest series further cemented his status in the community. His viral holiday parodies even earned airplay on legendary rock station 99.9 KISW. This career-long dedication to the craft has earned Hunsaker endorsements from respected brands such as esteemed audio software developer Voxengo, McNaught Guitars, Jim Wagner Pickups, Stedman, and DR Strings.
The Evolution
Today, now based in McKinney, TX, Hunsaker continues to evolve, blending the hard rock and melodic metal influences of his past with a newfound lyrical depth and emotional honesty. The music of Where Dreamers Fall, mixed by acclaimed producer Matt Dougherty (Megadeth, Disturbed, Staind), is the story of that evolution—a powerful, cinematic, and deeply human statement from an artist who proves that the most profound music often comes from the most unexpected of places.​
