About Me

Dean McPhee is a solo electric guitarist who lives in Lancaster, UK. He plays his trademark rosewood telecaster through a valve amp with a variety of effects pedals creating a warm, rich and slightly overdriven guitar tone. His solo pieces, which are part composed and part improvised, are hypnotic and atmospheric and have a dreamlike ambience that leaves audiences entranced. As a self taught musician with a unique playing style, Dean’s music is highly original, but it also brings together a wide range of influences that include Psych-Folk, Drone, Post Rock, Krautrock, Modal Jazz and traditional African and Indian music. He has a 7” split single “Water Burial” soon to be released on World in Winter Recordings, which he is sharing with the band Chapters, and he is currently working on his first album which he intends to release this year.
