Bio

Dean is a retired Ohio architect who has always had an interest in the arts. He spends his retirement time pursuing long-time interest. He is an accomplished watercolor artist and craftsperson. Some of his watercolors and  cigar-box guitar creations are available for purchase at Ohio Art Market in Westerville, Ohio. A nearly life-long guitarist that cut his teeth on “Louie, Louie” & “Little Black Egg” back in the  1960 garage band era. He has performed in several rock bands over the years as well as being vocalist and lead guitarist / resonator guitarist for the Columbus based bluegrass band “Loosely Strung” which called it quits several years back after a long run. Along the way he picked up other stringed instruments- banjo, mandolin, lap steel guitar, & dulcimer. After “Loosely Strung” broke-up, he was looking for another outlet to pursue his musical passions. While finger-picking some tunes on an old beat-up nylon-stringed guitar, a seed of an idea began to take root. Folks might enjoy listening to some familiar songs while dining or relaxing with friends or family.
