Dewey • Bass guitar/vocals
At the age of
10, Dewey bought his first instrument, a ukulele. Later, as a teenager, he
bought a used guitar for a whopping $8. After learning a group needed a bass
guitar, he bought one and taught himself to play it.
Dewey was soon playing in local country bands three
and four nights a week, but after a few years, the draw of all the other musical
styles he listened to as a kid was too much and he began to branch out. While
playing in one of these versatile groups, Dewey got the opportunity to play in
the backup band for The Drifters in several shows. Dewey also played for
nine years in the Motorola Dance Band.
Dewey has now
been playing professionally for 40
years and, as a member of the 4-50s band, is glad to be back to the music
of his high school days.
Dewey's day job
is a Network Administrator for Computer Sciences Corporation. When not
working or playing music, Dewey is an avid pilot and aviation enthusiast.
He and his wife Sandy enjoy seeing the country from their airplane. They
have viewed nearly every square inch of Arizona and much of the rest of the
Southwest from the air. They have been active members of The Arizona Blue
Sky Flyers flying club for over 20 years. Click here to go to
