Bruce Dean has been playing guitar since the age of 8. His music is sometimes peaceful and meditative, sometimes plaintive and challenging. Bruce's music focuses on strong melodic lines often contrasted with chords that are subtly dissonant and abstract.

The author and publisher of twenty seven âChord Geniusâ books covering everything from Bouzouki to Mandocello that he sells over the Internet through NorthernMusician.com, his music is never boring regardless of the seeming simplicity. âMy music is a crossover between, blues, folk and soft modal jazz, heavy on vocals.
