Dean Seltzer admits he began playing guitar and singing for the same reason most male musicians started, “To pick up girls.” He also adds, “Any guy with a guitar in his hands that tells you differently is a frickin’ liar – especially if you’re cute and female when you ask…”
Today, music is a passion for the outspoken and refreshingly brazen artist. Dean brings a new energy to country music with his powerful stage presence and fiery new album, Lady Luck.
Born in Odessa, TX and growing up in Austin, Dallas and Nashville, Dean has done everything from backpacking across Europe, snowboard instructing in Colorado and working on the set of a Jet Li movie as a stunt man. But his favorite pastime-turned-career has been playing music. Dean describes his music as “high-energy obnoxious redneck rock n’ roll.” He started playing as a camp counselor on Possum Kingdom Lake in the mid 90’s, and shortly after moved back home to Austin to pursue a full-time music career. He has played with artists like Dwight Yoakam, Bad Company, Jerry Lee Lewis, Aaron Tippin, David Allen Coe, Pat Green and Cross Canadian Ragweed. He recently finished his new album Lady Luck, produced by C.J. Eirickson (Matchbox 20, Live, Fastball, The Refreshments), and distributed by Smith Entertainment.
