DEAN SHOT - 7 PM
www.facebook.com/dean.shot
A singer, guitarist and artist of unmatched intensity and integrity. Dean is in a class by himself when it comes to combining his many influences into his own unique voice. One of the true bright lights in a continuingly dimming American music scene. Dean has spent over 30 years honing his craft and developing his undeniable style. Dean was born and raised in West Orange, NJ. A TRUE local legend/talent.
Dean has toured the world entertaining audiences of ALL ages and demographics. Having an early mentor as legendary as Hubert Sumlin and more recently spending over 6 plus years playing alongside Kim Wilson as both a member of his esteemed Blues All-Stars as well The Fabulous Thunderbirds, has him primed for the next chapter in his musical journey.
Dean is now focused primarily on his own creativity and music. Which has hardcore blues and roots fans very excited and filled with anticipation on what is on the horizon for Dean.
If you consider yourself a fan of great music and art, do yourself a favor and run to see Dean Shot perform.
ERIC HEILNER
https://ericheilner.com/
Eric Heilner, a lifelong rock & roll / R&B / blues keyboardist, did not take the usual route to composing. It wasn’t until he was in his mid 60’s when he first felt the compulsion to compose. Heilner started studying composition at the Juilliard Extension in NYC and within a few years he was composing fully developed pieces for chamber ensembles and orchestras. His pieces have been performed at various venues in New York City, Moscow, and Lviv.
In October 2020, Heilner released his first album – Modern Sounds in Classical Music – produced by legendary producer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith, etc).
