Bruce Dean

Bruce Dean is a singer-songwriter and experienced sideman, known around the Midwest club circuit for a stripped-down rig — a Telecaster through a silverface Fender amp — and a no-frills approach to a night on stage.

Earlier in his career, Bruce spent a decade playing accordion, mandolin, and banjo in Reilly, a Milwaukee-based Irish rock band, where he also produced the group's first two albums.

He records and produces out of a home studio, and continues to write, perform, and back up other artists across the region.
