Dean And The Devilwind Band
Dean and members of the Devilwind Band, Live to play, Love to play. And would rather be on the stage entertaining than any place else.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The Devil Wind Band was initially put together to record a cd of original country music. The recording was so well received it led to gigs outside the studio. In 1999 the band was hired as the house band for Reno's Palomino Club. The band performed there for the next three years, backing such artists as the legendary Hank Thompson, and Tommy Overstreet. The band also was the opening act for newer artists such as Jeffery Steel, Mark McGwinn, and Wild Horses, and worked with The Statesiders from The Mel Tillis show. All the band members have had careers spanning 30 years working with stars such as Henson Cargill, David Frizzell, Rose Maddox, Buck Owens, Wynn Stewart, and Rick Nelson just to mention a few. Dean Young began his career writing with Cliffy Stone, and Foy Willing from the Riders of the Purple Sage.
