Great News!

Dean was awarded “Heritage Track of the Year” at the Australian Independent Country Music Awards held in Mildura at the beginning of October 2013 with his version of a Slim Dusty classic “Where Country Is”.  This is the fourth occasion Dean has been presented with this award, once again proving Dean’s authenticity in this genre of music.
 
USA Trip

In July Dean travelled to Nashville, USA to record a Bluegrass Gospel Album, “The Shelter of the Cross”.   While in Nashville Dean took the opportunity to see some great country concerts at the historic Ryman Theatre and the Grand Ole Opry.
A big thrill for Dean while he was in Nashville was to be invited backstage at the Ryman Theatre.  “We were invited to spend time at sound check and during the show with Ricky Skagg’s band Kentucky Thunder”.
“Meeting Ricky Skaggs has been a high point in my musical journey so far.  He is a very humble inspirational artist”, Dean said.
