Just Back from a three month tour in Australia Dean is back with a vengeance and ready to rock his side of the Affliction Stage once again. Dean's influences vary and he can play just about anything, however, he is most at home in the hard rock genre . Born into a musical family, Dean has been a musician since a very young age. His knowledge and expertise are a huge asset to the Affliction camp.
DC has got the bottom end covered and his grooves are a integral part of our rhythm section. Influenced by masters like John Paul Jones and Jack Bruce, DC has found himself is a variety of bands, projects and recording situations over the years. Steeped in the roots of Classic Rock, Blues and Hard Rock he can accommodate just about any style he steps in to. Don't let his mellow laid-back attitude fool you when you meet him...as soon as the lights come on and the drums kick in he is hard to contain. has
