Hey
Dean, Just wanted to let you know that I really
enjoyed your show last week! Your beauty and
talent is personified in your music!
Laura, Rhinbeck, NY Dear Dean, On behalf of Family of Woodstock, Inc., I would like to offer a belated but heartfelt thank you for the wonderful benefit concert which you participated in at the Emerson Restaurant in Michael Berg Hey Dean, Thanks again for playing for us at the Old Mill. The benefit raised over $7,500 for the Allen family and much of it is thanks to you and your kind help. You have a great gift and your new CD is jammed with tasty gems that stay with you long after the glow of your performance has passed…in other words, I'm having trouble getting "We will not be Broken" out of my head...Well done and thanks again. Looking forward to seeing and hearing you again, Stay well. Cheers, Jean Pignal Hi Dean
We
were at the Ashton Pub last night at the benefit and
we caught your show. It was the first time that my
wife and I saw your show - what an entertainer
- music was unbelievable. I was the guy that
bought you a couple of drinks. After listening to
you I would have bought you drinks all night. We got
home and I put on the CD - what a great array of
music. I see that you are in Ottawa on the 16th - we
will be there to see you again. Thank you for the
excellent evening and the very best of luck in the
future.
Ivor Bayley, Carleton Place ON. Hi there Dean.
I'm so excited you finally
offered a new CD.
It is so well loved in my
house that myself and my 8 year old were both singing
along within a couple of times listening to it since we
got it January 19th.
I really enjoy it and since
I've now seen this is your 5th CD, I guess I better go
buy another one or 2 of the first 4! My birthday is in
April and I always get new music from my husband.
I will watch out for your
Ottawa shows and try and get out with a couple of
buddies. Love live music!
Andrea O, Ottawa
Hi Dean
We have just
finished listening to your wonderful CD. Even for 60 some
year olds like my husband and I it was easy listening. In
fact, it brought back many memories of those sing-a-long
days of the 60's!!! You are very talented and deserve all
the best.
Regards,
Pat O, Ottawa, ON
Hi Dean, Although I had heard of you before, this summer at the Riverside Jam Music Festival in Since then, I’ve followed your career a little more closely and have realized that your true gifts lie in songwriting and performing your original material. Being one of the lucky few to access an advance copy of your newest CD, Love That Shine, I can truly say it is one of those rare moments where talent, timing, energy and commitment have come together to create a beautiful and pure thing. The first time I listened to it I was intrigued, by the hundredth I was addicted. Everyone who hears this CD will love it. Your website (looks great by the way – visually appealing, easy to navigate for those non-techies amongst us, lots of fun pictures) gives great insight into you and the unswerving dedication you have given to your craft. Great things truly come to those who wait, but I think the world has waited long enough! Go on and shine - you deserve nothing less! Lisa from Ottawa Dean - I was checking out the Mick Armitage band website and happened to somehow get onto your site deanbatstone.com. I really enjoyed the two tunes you have on there from your newest CD - great stuff. I really like "She Shines Through Me" - great tune. Your voice reminds me of The Wallflowers singer on that one. Anyway, I'm browsing around on there and notice a pic of Jim Weider. Wow, colour me impressed, he's one of my favourite guitarists. I play guitar in a band too, and I'm a member of a telecaster discussion forum (tdpri) - Jim Weider is one of the big heroes over there, with his collection of beautiful teles from the 50s. Must have been great to have Jim play on your record. Anyway, that's it. Just wanted to say hi and let you know that I enjoyed the tunes. Derek, Ottawa, ON. Dear Dean.....I received a copy of your new CD from Santa and from it found your website. I've listened to it many times now and have decided, [I hope you see this as a compliment, because it's intended as one] ... you're a cross between John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot - two of my favorites! Will you be playing in the Kingston area soon? Looking forward to seeing you live. Audrey, Kingston, ON.  "Dean Batstone has depth with words that I haven't seen in a long time! I enjoy working with such great songs!" Jim Weider - '07 Well, well, well...SWB you've done us proud!! So looking forward to getting your new CD in my XMas stocking, made a special request to Santa!! The tracks are terrific and your voice as usual is enchanting, Dean. Looking forward to your next live performance and perhaps sharing a mike with you again sometime soon!!!! Julia. Ottawa
Dean,
You have a magical gift. I had a listen to your new songs and all I can say is "where can I buy my copy". A definite Lyrical Wonderland. You put a lot of heart into your music and it shines through. Congratulations. If you need a roadie, I am ready to go on tour with you. I can't wait to crank it up at home once I get home from work. Will this CD appear in stores and if not where can I buy a copy?
Darrell, Ottawa, ON
I saw you at Whispers in Ottawa a while ago and you were amazing! My brother and I were really impressed with the original style of your music and your words. It’s a rare thing these days to find a singer/songwriter like you; we were thrilled. In fact, we stayed all evening at the bar because you put on such a great show. Thanks for that! Now that I’ve found your website I can send it to my brother in San Francisco so he can read up on you, too. If you’re ever in California, you will be a sure hit. Karen, Ottawa, ON
Dean,
Nice sounding tunes buddy! The songs are very nicely arranged and the vocal cuts through very well - knowing Running Girl, I think these 2 other songs I could sample show how the CD will have a nice wide range in your writing and subjects to hold even the most discriminating listener captive. Great work! I want to hear more for sure - nice guitar work by the way - you must have been drooling hearing some of these lines on the acoustics and what I trust was a wood dobro.
