About Dean
Texas Born Storyteller
Dean writes and performs his own songs — a practice that puts him in a different category than most live acts. His lyrical style draws comparisons to the Texas Folk/Country pioneers of the 70s and 80s.
Military service, offshore work, travel, love, and loss have all made it into the notebook. The result is a catalog of original songs that sound like they could only have come from one person.
