The music lineup is again excellent as we have another new singer-songwriter to welcome into our midst. Levi Dean joins us Saturday afternoon for his first appearance at Lithia Artisans Market stage. Levi Dean, of the Americana-Roots ensemble Dean Station, is new to Southern Oregon making his way here from Nashville, Tennessee. “Levi Dean creates a progressive style that draws heavily on roots, rock, and bluegrass to make a distinct sound that is rooted in tradition, yet contemporary (from his biography).” We are honored to bring Levi to play for us at Ashland’s outdoor marketplace on Calle Guanajuato.
