About this Event
UK Artist Of The Year 2021- 2024 (UK Album Of The Year 2022) – Americana UK Readers’ Poll
Expect a joyous mix of songs and stories from Dean’s 12 album career, and a life on the road. Earworm inducing melodies and great songs; the heart of a rock’n’roller combined with the spellbinding delivery of folk’s best storytellers, with humour and melancholy intertwined.
Dean’s new album Spirit Ridge was recorded at Crinale, Italy (the land of his lion tamer ancestor) with renowned producer Don Antonio. Following directly on from his highly acclaimed collaborations with Calexico, the songs on Spirit Ridge are both monumental and deeply personal, rooted in a liminal hinterland which connects the lush Italian hills, the US desert states and post industrial Scotland. A thrilling, unique blend of Scottish roots and rocky Americana, with added desert noir.
The Sinners make a glorious, brass infused, driving sound with electric guitar, trumpet and double bass, with Dean’s searingly soulful voice upfront.
Recent highlights include sold out tours and standing ovations at Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections, Australia, The Netherlands and USA.
