For twenty five years Dean Stevens has delighted audiences of all ages throughout the Americas. An exuberant performer of distinctive style and wit, he combines an intricate, self-taught guitar style with a versatile and expressive singing voice. He has established himself as a formidable creator and interpreter of a wide spectrum of songs in English and Spanish. His own material explores a variety of personal and social topics, paints sketches of people and places, celebrates the Earth, and annoys the narrow minded. Born and raised in Costa Rica, Dean Stevens is a lifelong student of Latin America. He learned Spanish at an early age, and readily absorbed the musical and topical influences of the region. He travels frequently to Central America, and has become known for his humanitarian efforts on behalf of refugees returning to their homes in El Salvador and Guatemala. Dean Stevens has five highly acclaimed recordings to his credit. His 2008 release, "At Last" (Volcano Records), breaks his thirteen year childrearing hiatus from recording, and is a collaboration with Studio engineer/producer Eric Kilburn. It features spectacular preformances from Aiofe O'Donovan, Kallett Epstein and Cicone (voices), Billy Novick (sax) and Ritt Henn (bass).
