Biography

NUÑEZ began its most recent incarnation in late 2002, hailing from the southern state of Florida. Linda Nuñez, already a well-respected solo artist, returned home to Orlando after a stint in Nashville and joined forces with radio personality Melissa Foxx. Foxx recognized the talent and potential that Nuñez possessed and began utilizing her strong presence within the local music scene to assist in the promotion, marketing and booking of the band.
Meanwhile, Nuñez continued looking for the ideal players to round out her project. After several personnel changes things really began to gel for NUÑEZ. In particular, lead guitarist Chuck Dorris has proven himself to be not only a fine musician, but also a solid composer, collaborating with Nuñez on the title track for the newest album, CRY MERCY.
Bassist Chris Martin and his brother, rhythm guitarist Dave Martin, along with drummer Odin Sunshine Benitez, all hail from the now defunct band, No Mans Land. Nuñez and Foxx had worked with NML on several occasions, and agreed that all three would be perfect additions to the project. As luck would have it NML parted ways, and the invitation to join NUÑEZ was eagerly accepted by the Brothers Martin and Sunshine!
This strong line-up combined with a ton of community support and plenty of high-profile performances have helped NUÑEZ develop into a solid determining force within the unsigned music arena.
A Spring Tour of the Southeastern Region in support of the new CD, CRY MERCY is in the planning stages, as well as an appearance at the 2006 L.A. Pride Celebration! Also on the agenda for NUÑEZ - return performances for the National Mental Health Association of Central Florida, Calliope Fest a Celebration of Women in Music, Gay Days-Orlando and Pride Festivals throughout Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
