For more than ten years, Dean Johnson's rustic tenor and simply strummed acoustic guitar have been perking up ears around the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Dean has gradually built a devoted fan base—strictly through live performances—singing existential cowboy waltzes, ballads about wishing one could find a way out of heaven, honest confessionals, and other heartbreakers from a unique perspective. His first album 'Nothing for Me, Please' is out now on Mama Bird Recording Co., at long last.
