Event Details:
It's been 35 years since Billy Dean released his 1990 debut album Young Man, and as the singer, songwriter, and musician will proudly tell you, he doesn't have much in common with that title these days.

Dean has matured and evolved, and, along the way, refocused his attention on what he considers the most important part of his career: storytelling. After decades of industry success, including a pair of ACM Awards wins, a Grammy nomination, and eight Top 5 singles, he's happily entered his American Troubadour era.

"I love the fact that I'm older," Dean says. "The older you get, the better at storytelling you get. You have another layer of experience, another layer of life, and you see things in a different way. The songs I'm writing and recording now are some of the best I've ever done. I'm finally the all-around artist I want to be, and not just the guy on the album cover."
