Dean Ray
Texas Singer/Songwriter
Dean Ray is a singer, songwriter, and performer from Dallas, TX, and has a lot of love for his home state. He often refers to his music as "rebel Texas country-folk", and in his music, you can hear these cultures loud and clear.
Blending a love of folk music and classic country, a fusion inspired by songwriters like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Townes Van Zandt - Dean Ray updates these traditional sounds with a hint of modern Americana. This combination, which is highlighted in his first release, "Sweet Allie", made Ray stand apart from both hipster folk-pop crooners and bro-country revelers, a distinction that helps him define his unique sound.
