BIO
From California to Texas to New England, New Jersey native son Dean Harlem has in true troubadour fashion made America his home. Deep-rooted in Americana and classic country sounds, with a picking style that blends Townes Van Zandt and Justin Townes Earle, and with an honest, soulful voice, Harlem has distinguished himself as a young singer-songwriter to watch, with what Seacoast Online predicts, “a long, storied career” ahead of him. His debut release, 2019’s “Asbury Park,” paid homage to his New Jersey origins, even as it pointed to new songways and highways ahead as evidenced by his 2022 stand-alone single, “World
Without Song,” that further cemented his songwriting acumen. Currently, he makes his home in Nashville with his second EP, “Red Oak Hill,” arriving summer ’24.
Press
"Armed with a good pair of leather boots, some dusty old jeans, and an acoustic guitar, Dean Harlem embodies Americana music. Like the songwriter himself, Dean's latest EP Asbury Park covers good ground and takes us far across the road-worn American landscape."
-Folk New Hampshire
"...a voice that’ll get right at your core....If the songs are of any evidence here, it’s fair to say that there’s a long, storied career ahead of this young songwriter."
