Words by Rob Nicholson

 

Dean Winter is likely one of the most unassuming guys you’ll ever meet. Very easy going and relaxed, he’s calming to be around. But stick around until showtime, and you’ll see a very different Dean Winter. When he takes the stage with The Heat, he’s his own inner country star.

From Winter’s website: “With every passing release Winter evolves as a songwriter finding details in the experience to draw each listener closer. You feel the push and pull between winning and losing and the fleeting euphoria of a dimly lit bar as reality flickers back into existence when the lights come on. The sun rises and this light shines on your heartache and all the overwhelming feelings that come with growing up and growing old next to the ones you love. Ultimately, the music is best left to be experienced and these stories felt, not told.”
