THE SMOKIN' GUNDERSONS

are husband-and-wife duo Rob and Tess Gunderson from Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley.

 

Blending vintage Americana with the spirit of modern storytelling, their original music drifts between dreamy pop-rock, smoky jazz, brooding blues, nostalgic country, and hints of rockabilly.

 

Known for their smooth vocals, dynamic musicianship, and surprisingly full sound, The Smokin' Gundersons create songs that feel both fresh and familiar. Their music has been described as "new songs that feel nostalgic" "a female-fronted powerhouse of danceable roots rock," and even "Patsy Cline meets Pat Benatar."

​

At the heart of every performance is a love of storytelling. Their songs wander through romance, mystery, humor, heartbreak, and wonder—sometimes whimsical, sometimes haunting. From the cinematic dream-rock journey of "The Visitor," which follows an alien spacecraft's unexpected arrival on Earth, to "Ella," a smoky jazz tribute to the legendary Ella Fitzgerald, each song invites listeners into a vivid and unforgettable dream world.​
