Maryland native Jackson Dean played the World Famous Grizzly Rose on Friday night.
Dean and his band shared songs from his debut album Greenbroke including the opening song Greenbroke, Trailer Park, Wings, Fearless, and Superstitions. Dean saved Don’t Come Lookin’ and Red Light to close out his set from that same album. Dean is an up-and-comer, but plenty of front-row fans were belting out the songs with him.
Dean and his band had Brandon Aksteter on lead guitar, Rich Kolm on bass, and Sean Mercer on drums, also featured classic country sounds with songs such as Big Blue Sky, Don’t Take Much, Wolves, 1971, and Heavens to Betsy. Find the full setlist in the photos below.
