Dean Alexander is a Grammy nominated songwriter who got his first publishing deal by the late Barbara Orbison (widow of Roy Orbison) and whose work can be heard on Brent Cobb’s “Black Crow” (featuring Jason Isbell), “Life Ain’t Fair” w/ Sheryl Crow, Top 40 with “Live A Little” and most recently, Kristian Bush’s “Heart of Yours,” Kendall Marvel’s “Hell Bent On Hard Times,” and a many more, as well as multiple TV/syncs including the hit show NASHVILLE. A survivor of Nashville’s music industry, having earned his stripes as a Gibson Guitar luthier, Lower Broadway performer, major-label artist, and A-list songwriter long before embracing his independence where he shines a light on his traumas and triumphs with his debut full-length album, Devil Man’s Blues. Dean writes about himself, spinning a rich (and, at times, tragic) backstory into raw, rugged roots music laced with dark humor, bright melodies, and instrumentation that splits the difference between 1970s folk-rock and modern-day Americana. He’s continuing to carve out his own signature corner in the roots world with a new record in the works.
