Dean Ford

Musician

First creating music at 15, Dean always saw himself becoming a performer and did just that. The Maine-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter took inspiration from legends such as David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Madonna, and James Brown — artists who were bigger than their music, personas, and cultural markers all unto themselves — when developing his sound throughout the years both on and off the stage. Dean has gone on to release two earlier projects, 2012’s Ctrl and 2015’s Get Messy, along with a string of singles as a solo artist in addition to captivating audiences around the country with his Prince tribute band, Dean Ford and the Beautiful Ones. Inspired by the isolation of the pandemic, which kept him from the stage where he feels most at home, Dean is excited now more than ever to share this next chapter with fans everywhere.

The fuse is lit for an explosive year of new music for Dean and Dream Fever is only the beginning.
