Tom Dean

Bio:

Wildfires in the hills and canyons of Los Angeles, radio ghosts, the road, redemption, Elvis, the moon, Robert Johnson, small town New England life and of course, love and all of its entanglements. These are the themes one can expect from this well traveled, seasoned songwriter and his prolific song writing partner, lyricist George Wardwell.
A member of the Atlantic Records folk-rock group Devonsquare for more than 27 years and now a powerful solo artist, Tom possesses the perfect voice and guitar style to bring his character rich songs to life in an intimate performance setting.

..Tom is a veteran of the singer songwriter scene. The list of artists he has shared the stage and recorded with looks like a who's who of the music business. (Bonnie Raitt, Joan Armatrading, Steven Stills, Suzanne Vega - just to name a few) He has toured constantly for the last 15 years as a singer, songwriter, arranger, guitarist and sometimes producer for the successful folk-rock trio, Atlantic Records recording artists... Devonsquare. With songs like "Walking On Ice", "Straightaway", "If You Could See Me Now" and many more, his voice, guitar, songs and arrangements were instrumental in shaping that classic Devonsquare sound.

..Tom's 1st solo album "Your Own Backyard" has distinguished him as a premier songwriter and singer. Songs like the poignant “Love Is Always Gonna Look Just Like You” and the swampy blues of “The Devil & Robert Johnson” received kudos and airplay from American and European radio alike.

“We love this CD” - Marilyn Raye Beyer WUMB.

Independent Songwriter Magazine said “This has to be one of the best independent albums to come out this year.”

..His second solo project “Pennies” was released in June 2004 with most of the same all star lineup as the last. Kevin Barry (guitar) Michael Visceglia (bass) and Shawn Pelton (drums).
