Dean Taylor

Dean began his professional career as touring musician playing bass guitar in a variety of duos, trios and bands throughout the Southeast performing various styles of cover music. After ten years he went on to other endeavors as a producer, DJ and finally an actor. Finally, unable to resist his musical yearnings any longer, he's back playing, only this time he's playing his own songs. Although he's been writing songs for years, he recently decided to capitalize on his creative output and record 11 songs for his debut CD release "so far". Some of the musical influences you might hear in his music include Tom Petty, The Beatles, Wallflowers, John Prine, Steve Earl, Squeeze, The Rembrandts, Bruce Springsteen, and John Mellancamp. You'll probably hear many influences because Dean is an admirer of many genres of music from Classical to World Music to Hard Rock to Traditional Country. You'll find yourself humming the catchy melodies in his songs and thinking about the lyrical subtleties of his sometimes weighty subjects and the complex characters in his songs.
