Dean's upbeat demeanor and family-friendly repertoire have made him a popular performer at churches, coffee houses, farmers markets and festivals around central Indiana and the Midwest.
He combines rock steady Travis-style guitar picking with a pleasing vocal style, which RIchard Hills of Maverick Magazine described "as if the voices of John Denver, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett had somehow come together" (March 2009 issue).
Dean Phelps creates musical entertainment that connects with a variety of folks, from church pew to street festival, from all ages and all walks of life. He loves to come out and play, so ask about bookings!
"Dean Phelps walks the road of faith, and that faith informs his music and
shines through it, but you'll never feel like he's preaching or trying to
convince you to think a certain way. Phelps is an artist who simply is himself,
and that sense of self shines through in his music."
(Wildy Haskett,
Wildy's World)
"Dean is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He is Reverend Dean Phelps, with no apologies, but although he's a Reverend, he's not very churchy. He is a regular guy with a fun repertoire, a relaxed manner, nice picking, and a friendly way of putting a song across!" (Doc Possom, Indy Folk News)
