Part blues and part old school country, seasoned with a pinch of gospel, Kentucky-born guitarist Dean Phelps combines the rhythmic beat of thumbpick guitar with a soulful vocal style. He blends his guitar and voice into a wide repertoire, creating a sound that is reminiscent of performers like Merle Travis and Doc Watson with a hint of Leon Redbone.
The result is music to make you smile, darn ya, smile. Or, in the words of one testimonial, “If you want that overall feeling of ‘Oh gosh, I think I am happy right now,’ be sure to spend time with Dean Phelps.”
