Dean Rodney Jr. & The Cowboys2023- ongoing
Dean Rodney Jr. & The Cowboys is a co-produced project between Dean Rodney Jr. and myself. We have collaborated closely for many years.
Dean Rodney Jr. is a prolific musician with Autism, who describes his music as a mix between hiphop and pop. In the last 4 years Dean has written and recorded over 50 albums, describing a fictional alternative version of the present day, Dean TV World.
Together, we develop the world of Dean TV . I produce Deans songs, manage the band as well as design and create our onstage costumes. The Cowboys are: Jack Barraclough on drums, Amy Maskell on keys, Robyn Steward on trumpet and me on bass.
Dean Rodney Jr. & The Cowboys played extensively across the U.K including at Earth, Hackney, De La Warr Pavillion, Bexhill, and at festivals including Supernormal, Contrapop and Jupiter Rising.
“It is a well-known fact in industry circles that Dean himself possesses the artistry and stage presence to blow an audience away any day of the week just for the fun of it. However, when you add Amy’s Klaus-Schulzesque keyboard aura, Rosie Ridgway’s Funkier-Than-A-Mosquito’s-Tweeter bass stylings and Jack Barraclough’s Magaletti-Meets-Ringo batterie to the equation, then filter Robyn Steward’s participatory trumpet overtures through the asteroid belt before beaming them back down to Earth via Medway Services, what comes out the other side is an extremely dangerous concoction to say the least.”
