Songwriter and producer. Here are some songs and musings. Oakland, CA

I am Gary Dean. I am from Boston. Spent 9 years in LA. Then moved back to Boston.

These are some songs I have been a part of making. 

I was the drummer and vocalist for a band called OPM (Atlantic), Aimee Allen(Elektra), the Free Agency, Bill Gates Trio,  
Supershag, the Heavy Vibes, Del Champion, Gary Dean’s Soul Machine, Gary Dean and the Mint Vulva Team, Michael Denvir, and Colonel Angus’ Last Stand, and I have made a lot of my own music. 

Music is a gift. I love it, I love making it and being a part of it. 
My main purpose in life right now is being a Dad and trying to help my musical kids find their soul and have fun making music.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
