A vocal range that can pretty much span the whole nine yards from Paul Robeson to Paul Simon? Access all areas.

Then stir in his peerless acoustic guitar accompaniment and a vocal phrasing that’s easily up there with the Bennetts and the Bublés of the world and you’re left wondering why this guy’s not on The Pyramid at Glasto’ or at the very least wowing viewers with an intimate set on Later with Jools. Dean’s career has spanned over half a century and he’s showing no sign of slowing down, with 4 original cd's, a healthy Spotify following and a new Patreon channel- patreon.com/DeanDyson
