Press Reviews

Dean's songs are anecdotes and emotions that speak of love and loss, fear and happiness wrapped in the storyteller's own mix of melodies of Americana, folk, jazz, country, and pop. Everything you’d expect buddies and family to chat about around a dinner table.

New Jersey Stage

Jersey Shore great Cranston Dean always has reminded me of Jackson Browne because there are both organic-sounding multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters with an eloquent penchant for rhyme amidst every-day stories for everyone.
