Dean Nelson

Lead singer, primary songwriter, and guitarist Dean Nelson has captivated audiences with his booming, soulful voice and fierce stage presence. Long-time collaborator and vocalist Spencer “Pilot” Jones serenades and charms every soul within earshot. Guitarist Garrett Bowers shredded riffs that could melt faces and ignite mosh pits, while Jorgen's wizardry on the keys adds layers of depth and intrigue. Max Mulmed’s precision on the drums keeps us grooving, and Tyler Patnode embodies the God Zeus, hurling thunderous bass riffs. All of these elements create the band's explosive sound.
Dean Nelson has quickly gained a following with their electrifying live performances and infectious energy. They released their debut EP, “Hand Some,” in 2023, which featured anthemic tracks like “Why are you waiting on me? and “Poinsettias.” They have scattered single releases dating back to 2018 with hits like “Peacock” and “GTFOW” that you can scream in rush hour traffic.

Our heroes have so far, exorcised ancient demons, saved a princess from a dragon, curb-stomped the doom guy, and written six screenplays, (none of which have yet to be made into a full-length picture). The band also famously challenged Bobby Fischer to a game of chess in 2020. They lost in what Highlights magazine has called “The shortest game ever played”. They may not have won against Bobby Fischer, but they sure know how to win over a crowd with their infectious energy and killer tunes. So come join us on this epic adventure of music and madness, because with us, it's always a party!
