Dean is the drummer for the Chicago-based bands Worry Club and Capital Soiree. He’s a lifelong resident of the Chicago area, very much a part and a product of the Chicago scene, and has done and continues to do a lot of what it has to offer in addition to his two steady bands.

In this episode, Dean talks about:

• Starting out in the ‘burbs of Chicago and the surrounding area
• Initially pursuing a history degree with an eye toward being a professor 
• Working his way onto the Chicago scene as the scene emerged from the pandemic
• Getting his gig with Worry Club through using a hashtag on IG 
• How he approaches live versions of songs that are recorded with programmed drums
• Understanding and appreciating “how a song works
• What sets Chicago apart
