DEAN WALL

Dean is Smok’n Guns Utility man, jumping around from playing guitar to fiddle to acoustic. Dean has been playing for almost 30 years and is a Minnesota Hall of Fame inductee with his former band The Doc Holliday Band. He has been honored to have played with some of the best musicians in Minnesota, and is now a part of the Smok’n Guns Band. He has played in concert with numerous recording artists and has been lucky enough to have had Charlie Daniels sign his fiddle! Dean has played at all the major outdoor summer events such as WeFest, Winstock, Moondance Country Jam, and Cornstock just to name a few.

Starting out as a long-haired lead guitar player in rock-n-roll bands in the 80’s, Dean still uses the old rock licks that make the new country sound of today. Dean has 2 daughters, Seana and Chayla, and he is very thankful for the support his girls and family give him. When he’s not playing music, he is usually out at his favorite fishing hole trying to catch that elusive walleye!

MIKE DELONG

Growing up in Elk River, Mike’s musical inspiration came from his step-father who was a member of an early country band called The Silver Wings. Mike’s first band in high school was Black Mountain Pass. Then, he was a front man and lead vocalist for a band called No Sweat. Until 1986, Mike played country-rock with his brother-in-law.

In the late 1980’s, Mike joined Bogus Brook with Bobby Moore. They played 5 to 7 nights a week all across the country. After Bogus Brook, Mike played in a house band, Criss Cross, at the old Office Lounge for several years. He has also played classic rock with the Back Stage Crew and Pearl White band. Mike is now the hard-driving beat and rock-country vocals and harmony of the Smok’N Guns Band.

I would like to thank my family… my wife, Patty, daughters – Michaela, Natasha, Shaina and Alyssa and grandchildren – Madison, Evan, Kailynn and the new ones to come… for all of their support!
