ABOUT SUMMER DEAN
Texas-based recording artist Summer Dean is as authentic as they come. The acclaimed singer-songwriter owns the stage from the moment she struts into the spotlight, captivating audiences across the country with her sly wit, Southern charm, and soulful songcraft. Night after night, her down-home dynamism illustrates exactly why she’s a highly sought-after artist and opener for the likes of Marty Stuart, Asleep at the Wheel, Colter Wall, Charley Crockett, and Mike and the Moonpies.
A captivating candor is palpable in every syllable and sound of the acclaimed singer-songwriter’s new record, "The Biggest Life," a profound, vivid document of a songwriter cementing her place among the top rank of Texas tunesmiths.
“I’m very proud of myself and this record,” Dean says. “It’s the most real and vulnerable I’ve ever been with my writing.”
In a moment where so much of country music is safe, slick, and simple, there is indeed a rawness and a reality to Dean’s songs that sets her apart as a songwriter of substance.
You can hear hard-earned humanity in “Big Ol Truck,” a wry ode to reality not always matching expectations, just as you can hear it in the woozy cantina swirl of “She’s in His Arms, But I’m in the Palm of His Hand,” and particularly in the album’s shattering closer, “Lonely Girl’s Lament,” Dean’s most formidable moment on record to date.
Dean has been steadily gaining momentum since the release of her break-out 2021 LP "Bad Romantic." Critics hailed "Romantic," with Texas Monthly saying Dean showed “deft skill at disarming listeners with her vulnerability,” while The Boot said Dean “spins vibrant tales of her blue-collar life, turning life’s ordinary moments into extraordinary ones.” Dean was also just named the 2023 Ameripolitan Honky Tonk Female of the Year and selected as “One of Five Females Essential to the Future of Country Music” by The Recording Academy/Grammy’s.
ABOUT LAITH
On Laith’s debut record, ‘Lightning’, he carries us across state lines from LA to Arizona, Colorado to Espanola, Houston to New Orleans, Utah on to the Great Northwest, where he currently lays his head, dreaming of running these roads until the wheels don’t touch the ground. And his writing does just that. It burns along the asphalt until there’s none left. And that’s when Laith takes us beyond, on phantom track lines through the abstract geography of his mind. He flows seamlessly between railway signs and lost trains of thought. Like a true American surrealist.
“Sounds Like: Driving from Houston to New Orleans with all your favorite road trip songs on shuffle, “
