About Dean Lane:

Dean’s experience as a professional in the music industry began in Okinawa, while serving in the Armed Forces, having frequently appeared as a “Special Guest” with the USO. After completing his tour of duty, Dean returned home, moved from Texas to California, and started working with Troy Hale. From there he went on to perform with a whole host of Artists including, Tex Williams, (whom he played drums for), Leo Eiffert, (President - Eiffert Records – Louisiana/Young Country –California), Al Bruno, Johnny Paycheck, Jack Tucker (taught him everything he knows), Dick Campbell, Rod Culpepper, Larry Settles, Sammy Masters, Red Rhodes, Judy Lee Paxton, Gene Davis, Jimmy Dean, Bill “Hoss” Hoffman, J.D. Maness, Lou Martin, and well, the list is just too long to add everyone here. Dean has a heart and soul for Country and Gospel music, as well as the ears. His experiences as an entertainer over the past 30+ years have given him that “edge” and “style” that makes the sound from “SanDene Studios” unique.

About Mike Gunderson:

Mike was instrumental in the development of SanDene Studios. He came on board not long after SanDenes’ doors opened, bringing with him 20+ years experience as a Recording/Live Sound Engineer. Whereas Dean brings his experience and background in the Country Music Industry, Mike brings his background in the Rock Music Industry, having worked as an engineer for such Artists as, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn, Captain & Tennile, Brandino, Motley Crew, Guns & Roses, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Mike ‘s talents and expertise as an engineer are tried, tested and proved, and gives the sound from SanDene Studios “Energy” and “Originality”.

About Leo J. Eiffert, Jr.:

Leo is a long time friend and associate of Dean and SanDenE Studios. As a musician Leo began what he likes to call his “professional amateur” career in 1964, when he first met his good friend Johnny Angel. Through Johnny he came into contact with Cliffie Stone, and got his first gig playing with Jack Tucker. From these beginnings, Leo went on to meet Buck Owens, and from there built long time relationships with so many musicians as part of the “Bakersfield Sound”. Today Leo is the President/CEO of two record labels, “Young Country Records” (California), and “Eiffert Records” (Louisiana). Leo brings to SanDenE Studios his knowledge and expertise of the “Country Music” industry and his passion for the traditions of country music and where it’s headed today.
