From North-East England, Dean Parker is a guitar player, singer, songwriter, and producer carving out his own mercurial voice as the alt-rock raconteur.
Whilst hesitantly pigeon-holing, his songs and work transcend the ordinary and expected tropes. With influences of Buckley, Isbell, Howard, White, and Mills, he’s constantly pushing into a territory that is, in the end, completely his own.
2022 saw not only the start of his solo career and release of his debut EP, This All Tastes Like Yesterday, but also a myriad of performances including a US tour that saw him reach Austin, TX, Memphis, TN, and everywhere in between.
Dean divides his time behind the pen, the guitar, and the desk. One minute he’s chasing lightning for his own records; the next, he’s capturing it for someone else’s.
Over the past year, Dean embarked on his first UK tour and into 2024 released his mini-album, 'Is this Learning?' on vinyl record. 2025 sees him tour, release and more.ALL ENQUIRIES
