  • Bio

    When you hear the word "craftsman" it's almost inevitable that you first picture a large man with a beard in a plaid shirt building a jelly cabinet or wooden boat on a Saturday afternoon PBS show. You probably wouldn't first think of Dean Ford in his sharp suit, coiffed hair and set list built to move you, yet that's what he is. Dean is a musical craftsman of the 21st Century. Instead of a planer and dovetail jointer he swings a guitar on his back and crafts stories from the heart, that just happen to make you move your ass. That finely crafted pop hasn't happened by accident. It's the product of a life surrounded by music. From a young age Dean was enamored with pop music and the way it reached him. He absorbed music both listening to and playing, becoming proficient in the tools of his craft (drums, guitar, keys, bass). Previously, Dean led the pop-rock band The Goodnight Process, writing all of their material as well as handling vocals and guitar. The first EP, "The Silent Pages" was released when Dean was just 16. Shows and songs continued with "The Way Things Are", their 2nd EP released in 2009. Following the release of their 2nd EP, the band toured music halls and bars, sweating it out under the lights (sometimes quite literally). The work didn't stop on the road for Dean though, as he was already squirreling away songs for the next album. That album materialized as his latest offering "Deaf. Dumb. In Love", released under his own name, putting him in the spotlight as the talent he has always been. At 21, Dean Ford already writes and sings with the pop-sensibilities of someone 15 years his senior. His love songs are not rooted in high school locker-romances or college frat guy come-ons. Instead, they are honest paintings of the good, bad and horrendous aspects that come along with love. His songs run the gambit of pop rock from the damn-near-blue-eyed-soul of Hall & Oates ("Come On Say") to darker almost-troubador-esque tunes like the as-yet unreleased "The Rattlesnake" & "Johnny & Patricia". Dipping back into a catalog of tunes he's written either as The Goodnight Process or under his surname, Dean connects with the listener in everyone. At the time of writing, Dean is already at work on another EP to follow "Deaf. Dumb. In Love" and like any craftsman, he's his own worst critic. It won't leave his workshop until he puts his stamp of approval on it but when it does, we can all reap the rewards of his hard work.

Bio:

Goodnight Process is a power-pop / rock & roll band formed in Portland, Maine in 2007. The band is made up of Dean Ford (vocals, guitar), Kurt Baker (bass, vocals), Kris Rodgers (keyboards), and Nate Marchand (drums)

After gaining a reputation for their high energy live show, and well crafted pop songs, they recorded and released their debut EP, “The Way Things Are” in March 2009. Since the release, the band has played countless shows all around New England, gaining a very impressive following. As of August 2009, the band underwent a major line up change, replacing two original members. But since the change, Dean and the boys have been working even harder on songs for their second release, "Another Beautiful Girl", which will be out Summer 2010. So, make sure to stay in the loop so you can say you were one of the first to see and hear this young power-pop group on the rise!
