Ira Dean

Ira Dean is a country music lifer best known as the bassist and co-founder of the early 2000s hitmaking trio Trick Pony, whose rowdy anthems like “Pour Me” and “On a Mission” cemented his reputation as a Nashville roadhouse storyteller. After the band’s 2007 split, the North Carolina native leaned into songwriting (penning Tim McGraw’s “Real Good Man”) and session work before reigniting his solo career with collaborations that read like a country music hall of fame guestlist. His recent releases—like “Tele-Man” with Vince Gill and Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne, or “Nothin’ to Do Round Here” featuring Montgomery Gentry and Ronnie Milsap—showcase his knack for blending honky-tonk swagger with modern twang. Dean’s music stays rooted in working-class themes, whether he’s trading verses with Gretchen Wilson on “Everything” or name-dropping Hank Jr. over greasy guitar licks on “1 to Hank.”
