*Dean Stevens: The World Tour of My Living Room!*


Dear Friends,

I’ve done this Winter Fridays Series for 6 weeks now, and it’s had a 
tremendous response. I want to thank you on behalf of all of the 
performers, for joining us, and for opting to buy tickets, donating 
extra, and feeding the PayPal tip jar. I’ve been truly enjoying it, 
having a Friday night hang with a bunch of friends from all kind of 
places near and far. And we’ve raised several thousand dollars for 
performers whose livelihood has been so affected by demon virus. Thanks! 
And there are more coming, all the way through the end of March (see below).

Now I’ve got to get to another kind of work, figuring out what I’m going 
to sing for you next Friday! I’ll be doing the gig, and I’ll find out 
the hard way if you can host a gig and play the same gig all at the same 
time! Walk and chew gum I cannot, but I’ll do this. Look out!!

Here’s some new bio I just wrote myself (bad idea!). The old stuff was 
about 30 years old:

Dean Stevens is a living legend in his own mind. Having for forty years 
toured the world tour of his own house and a few other places nearby, he 
is ready to hit the big times. Here he comes, bounding through the 
Covidian haze, laden down with a pile of songs you’ve never heard and 
that he hasn’t had time to practice. But give him about a week, he’ll be 
ready. Dean will come packing his new Bamboo guitar, and bragging about 
the enormous library of books that just landed in the studio (Lothrop 
Auditorium of The Community Church of Boston

“Dean Stevens’ songs celebrate the earth and its living things, cry out 
for justice, commemorate the fallen and annoy the narrow minded.” Dean 
Stevens (never write a blurb for yourself) (I’ll leave out the Pete 
Seeger, Geoff Bartley and Bob Franke quotes)

All proceeds from this concert will benefit Teosinte, El Salvador. The 
beautiful crafts Dean shamelessly peddles are sewn there. Teosinte, a 
repopulated community of former refugees, has been for 30 years a 
regular stop on Dean’s El Salvador journeys. Teosinte has a serious 
problem of water shortage in the dry season. The Arlington (MA) Teosinte 
Sister City Project is having a GoFundMe

for a water project to enhance and make safe their water supply. This 
will benefit an entire community, including the six skilled tailors who 
make us all those beautiful items

and meet my wonderful long time friend, health promoter Rafael Guardado

will tell you about Teosinte, and its water situation.

Join us, for some tunes, from me and a couple of friends, and help us 
raise funds for a good good cause. Buy tickets here. Want to visit these 
villages some time? Be in touch. I’m planning a trip this Summer!

Love Always, DEAN
