Guitarist and composer Dean Granros resides in WI, USA. Over the past 50 years Dean has developed a unique voice on the guitar. Of Dean's playing, New York Times jazz critic, Nate Chinen, wrote: "It was..inarguable in its logic, and to my ears it definitely qualified as something new." As soloist, Mr. Granros explores the intersections of world music and jazz to create a tapestry of musical color and mood.   

Dean Harrington earned a Bachelor of Music Degree in Classical Guitar Performance from the University of MN and was a first prize winner in the Schubert Club scholarship competition. For the last two decades he has been exclusively a jazz musician performing with his own band Mill City Hot Club and other local groups. He is proud of his work as a guitar teacher for over 30 years at K & S Conservatory of Music in Woodbury, The Music Lab in Minneapolis, and Mount Olivet School of Music in Edina.

Dean Mikkelson has been performing around the area for over the last twenty years, often leading his group Deano and the Dinosaurs. He has also performed with The Mill City Hot Club and recorded with Papa John Kolstad and the Hot Club of East Lake. As a footnote, he was inspired to pursue the guitar after hearing Dean Granros in 1970.
