Ronnie Dunn, one half of the iconic country duo Brooks & Dunn, shocked patrons at a bar in Downtown Nashville.
The country superstar and “Broken Neon Hearts” singer surprised during Whiskey Jam on Monday (Feb. 14) at Winner’s Bar.
The show, which featured up-and-coming country artists Dylan Wheeler, Stephen Carey, True Villians, Tom Perkins, Taryn Papa, Dan Alley as well as Giovannie And The Hired Guns, included a special appearance from Dunn.
After being introduced by singer/songwriter Tom Perkins, who co-wrote Ronnie Dunn’s latest solo single “Broken Neon Hearts,” was joined by Dunn himself to perform a few songs.
“Welcome Mr. Ronnie Dunn y’all,” Perkins said, welcoming the country icon to the stage.
Dunn then performed a few songs, including his latest single “Broken Neon Heart” as well as two of Brooks & Dunn’s biggest hits, “Neon Moon” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.”

Earlier in the day, Dunn teased fans on social media, writing that “My “Broken Neon Hearts” co-writer Tom Perkins is singin’ in #Nashville tonight… might have to check this @WhiskeyJam thing out…”
“Broken Neon Hearts” is the first single from his Dunn’s forthcoming fifth studio solo album, 100 Proof Neon, due out this summer. While not many details of the album have come out, Dunn did share that a duet with Parker McCollum will appear on the project.
“This is the start of a project that I’ve wanted to make for a long time. I purposely reached for a late 80’s / 90’s Country… honky tonks, whiskey, neon lights, lost love, looking for love… twin fiddles, steel guitars, and string bending telecasters. 100% Neon!” Dunn wrote on social media.
Dunn has also recently launched his own publishing company, Perfect Pitch Publishing. The Perfect Pitch roster includes Tom Perkins, Hayden Baker, Dakota Striplin and Ariel Boetel.
