About Barry:

Barry Dean is a highly accomplished songwriter in both country and pop music genres based in Nashville, Tennessee. Barry's remarkable talents have earned him a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Country Song for his work on Tim McGraw's "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools”. Barry remains filled with awe every time he hears one of his songs playing on the radio.

His portfolio boasts an impressive array of chart-topping hits, including two No. 1 singles for Little Big Town ("Pontoon" and "Day Drinkin'"), "Think a Little Less," which dominated the charts for Michael Ray, "Heartache Medication," the most recent #1 hit for Jon Pardi, Ingrid Michaelson's Top 40 sensation "Girls Chase Boys," and an ever-expanding list of country and pop hits. These accomplishments underscore that Barry Dean is undeniably living out his true calling.
