Dan Dean Releases StowTown Records Debut ‘More’
Beloved lead vocalist of one of Christian music’s most distinct and iconic groups—Phillips, Craig & Dean—multi-Dove Award-winner Dan Dean steps into the solo spotlight with More, his June 20 StowTown Records debut. Produced by ACM Award-winner Gordon Mote (Gaither Vocal Band, Lee Greenwood) and Jason Webb (Vince Gill, Amy Grant), the album features 11 tracks, eight of which were written or co-penned by Dan Dean.
More is hallmarked by collaborations with a who’s who of genre-spanning talents, including country songstress Emily Ann Roberts; bluegrass legends The Isaacs; and Dan Dean’s bandmates Randy Phillips and Shawn Craig, who bring their signature Phillips, Craig & Dean harmonies to album opener “Traveling Light.” The Tony Wood and Jimmy Yeary-penned toe-tapper aptly sets the tone for a project that celebrates life, love and family under the gaze of grace.

Additional highlights of More include “Glimpses of Glory,” a tribute to God’s handiwork in Creation featuring The Isaacs; the Christine Dente-backed “Mother of Boys,” a deeply personal track Dean co-penned in homage to his mother; “Home,” an ode to the joy imbued in life’s simple moments written by and showcasing Dean’s son Devin; and the project’s title-cut spotlighting Emily Ann Roberts and Jason Webb.
Dan Dean’s remarkable Christian music journey began in 1992 when he joined friends Randy Phillips and Shawn Craig to record Phillips, Craig & Dean, the group’s eponymous Star Song Communications debut.
Their pop melodies and unmatched harmonies would set a new benchmark for the genre, as Phillips, Craig & Dean went on to sell more than 2.5 million units; garner a Gold Record for their multi-week #1 hit “Revelation Song”; and take home four Dove Awards, among numerous other accolades in a career that has spanned three decades and counting. Dean continues to travel and sing with Phillips, Craig & Dean as he embarks on a new season of solo artistry.
