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 leads frequent travel groups to Central America, and has become known for his humanitarian efforts on behalf of refugees rebuilding their communities in El Salvador. Dean Stevens has five highly acclaimed recordings to his credit. His 2008 release, entitled "At Last", ends a 13 year child-rearing sabbatical, with the most produced recording of his career, a collaboration with engineer/producer Eric Kilburn and many guest appearances: bassist Ritt Henn, vocalists Aoife O'Donovan, Kallet Epstein and Cicone, multi-instrumentalists Billy Novick, Bob Lucas and Denny Williams and many more.
