Dan Dean

Singer | Song Writer | Pastor | Co-Founder — Shepherd's Rest

Dan Dean’s remarkable Christian music journey began in 1992 when he joined friends Randy Phillips and Shawn Craig to record Phillips, Craig & Dean, the group’s eponymous debut. The group went on to sell more than 2.5 million units, garner a Gold Record for their multi-week #1 hit "Revelation Song", and take home four Dove Awards, among numerous other accolades in a career that has spanned over three decades. A renowned songwriter, Dean co-penned two of Phillips, Craig & Dean’s Dove Award-nominated classics: “Favorite Song of All” and “I Want to Be Just Like You.” Dean’s new solo album, More, features 11 tracks, eight of which he wrote or co-wrote. The project is hallmarked by collaborations with a who’s who of genre-spanning talents, including Emily Ann Roberts, bluegrass legends The Isaacs, and Dean’s bandmates Randy Phillips and Shawn Craig, who bring their signature Phillips, Craig & Dean harmonies to album opener “Traveling Light.” The Tony Wood and Jimmy Yeary-penned toe-tapper aptly sets the tone for a project that celebrates life, love and family under the gaze of grace. Offstage, Dean has served in full-time ministry for nearly 50 years. Following his tenure as lead pastor at Heartland Church near Dallas, he now holds the role of legacy pastor. Dean and his wife, Becky, are co-founders of Shepherd’s Rest, a nonprofit ministry dedicated to providing respite for church leaders and their families. He also continues to travel and sing with Phillips, Craig & Dean as he embarks on a new season of solo artistry.
