's debut self-titled EP is here, allowing him to more fully introduce himself to country music audiences.
The Maryland native offers five tracks, including the previously released single, Wings. It's gritty and grainy and brings an air of authenticity that is wonderful to hear. Another thing you'll hear is a voice that doesn't sound like it belongs to a 20-year-old. With a Stapleton-esque vibe, the young singer/songwriter delivers a strong introduction on this one. And we're already looking forward to whatever's going to come next.
Dean co-wrote all of the songs on the EP, adding his personal experience and songwriting skills to the voice and feeling you'll hear when you hit play on Don't Come Lookin' off the top of the tracklist.
