Three Piece
The Resophonics

The Resophonics feature a number of prominent local drummers and bassists who accompany Dean. So-named for the sound-board on Dean’s all metal National Guitar, The Resophonics are characterized by tasteful musical choices, tongue in cheek revelry and a spontaneous tour of stripped- down American Roots music. This busy trio is particularly beloved in the Annapolis saloons where they have entertained for years.
