LOVE DEAN

LOVE, DEAN

THIS IS A GIFT ECONOMY EVENT

Love, DEAN is a Soul-Americana duo from Portland, OR, known for rich harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and undeniable onstage chemistry. With just two voices and a vintage hollow-body guitar, Rachael and Luke Price create music that’s raw, timeless, and full of soul. Luke, in addition to producing and songwriting, is also a 5 time Grand National Fiddle Champion, and grew up immersed in communal traditional music.

Love, DEAN is the musical creation of Rachael and Luke Price, blending Soul-Americana with indie spirit out of Portland, OR. With just two voices and one vintage hollow-body guitar, they craft a sound that’s warm, raw, and instantly magnetic.

Think Lake Street Dive meets Al Green, with lush harmonies and soul-steeped grooves that linger long after the last note. The duo met at Berklee College of Music, fell in love with each other (and the music), and have been creating together ever since.

Luke, in addition to producing and songwriting, is also a five time national fiddle champion and grew up immersed in communal music. He tours as a fiddle player and background vocalist with Tony Furtado and others year round. Rachael started writing and singing at a very young age and brings a powerhouse voice that radiates vulnerability and strength to every stage.

Love, DEAN’s most recent self-titled release features collaborators Sebastian Steinberg (Fiona Apple, Blake Mills), Daniel Clarke (Ryan Adams, k.d. lang), and Margaret Glaspy — and they’re currently cooking up their third studio album.
