Circus Of Love

Out Of The Grave Came A Song

Introducing Benjamin Dunn And Friends and their unique expression of love and worship. With a merging of vintage synth-driven dance, free-spirited pop and and folk instrumentation, Dunn consistently invents new sounds of beauty and life following his ever-evolving artistic vision for worship.

The California natives, Benjamin and his wife Stephanie, have spent the last 8 years traveling across not only America but to the far corners of the world, sharing their unique sound and loving the poor along the way as frequently tour grabage dumps and leper colonies. They are currently involved in building a orphanage and home for children from the garbage dumps and leper colonies in India.

Benjamin & Stephanie Dunn, their ministry (joyrevolution), missions, message and band are all about breathing fresh, new life into our ideals about worship, music, creativity and ultimately about our God and His infinite love. They're about the discovery of something beautiful and moving -- the incomprehensible Grace of God and it's eruption from our hearts into song, art, discussion, theology and life. They're about shattering the misconceptions of how worship has to look and sound, the overdone concepts of what is "relevant" or "current," and stepping into something beautiful genuine and alive.

Recent Press

Benjamin Dunn’s entourage is easily one of the freshest worship releases in the last year. Circus of Love utilizes a wide palette of influences (Death Cab, The Police) to create an inspirational and interesting set of love songs. “Heart Strings” is an instant crowd favorite, and “Melody of Salvation” follows suit lending a powerful one-two. Yet the entire release is worth hearing.

Circus Of Love named in the 20 best albums of 2011 - An eclectic sound creates a bed for these stunning melodies and song ideas to lie on and there's something hectic about my favourite songs here like "Circus Of Love" and "Leap Like A Deer". When Benjamin Dunn hits a groove, it's best to stand aside and enjoy the ride! Mike Rimmer

Our Love

"For many years now we have been joyfully pouring our lives and love out to the poorest of the poor around the world. We visit people in the poorest conditions you can imagine, from dumps in Cambodia and the Phillipenes to leper colonies in India and countless other places in need of life and love. With banjos and guitars in hand we lift them with love, food and gifts and shower them with hugs and songs.. Much of our song writing comes frmo visitng these beautiful people.

Orphanage & Leper Home - About 5 years ago we took a spontaneous trip to the garbage dump in Hyderabad, India. There, as we were loving and visiting the people we met our amazingly sweet friend Pastor Nahum. It was love at first sight! Since then we have returned many times to visit the dumps and leper colonies there with Him and we are working with him on this amazing project. Our first goal in building the Leper Mansion is to buy the land. Nahum is currently looking at two pieces of land, both with multiple acres, enough for all that we want to do for the lepers there. Anything and everything helps, let's meet this goal together! Don't forget to check out Nahums corner to get updates right from India." Visit the Leper Mansion Project website.

    Circus Of Love

    2011

    The debut album from Benjamin Dunn And Friends. Being both synthy and organic, this album offers a massively unique and fresh sound. Using the instrumental quirkiness of banjos, accordions and glockenspiels the sound takes on a childlike aura. Add some vintage synthesizers and pop melodies belted out by a gang of vocalists and you have Circus Of Love. Buy on Itunes.

Joy Revolution

Benjamin Dunn And Friends is a creative piece of JoyRevolution, an organization founded by Benjamin & Stephanie Dunn. Together they have been helping, loving and sharing their lives with the poor since 2003. They are a couple full of genuine love and are passionate about the little, the last and the lost and will not forget them. Known for their child-like joy and unique creativity in their expression of salvation, they are pure artists at heart.

Ben has recently authored his first book entitled The Happy Gospel and should be in a store near you as well as available on this site. Along with all of her other artistic creations, Stephanie Dunn has just finished writing a children's book called Where My Roots Grow which is an epic tale of a young tree finding salvation. Together, they traverse the globe singing the joys of salvation - teaching, touring and worshiping in clubs, churches, conferences, leper colonies and garbage dumps. Last year they traveled a total of over 300 days (they are obviously some driven peeps!  :)
