FLORIDA’S FINEST An Evening with Billy Dean

In this intimate evening, Billy Dean will perform new arrangements of his hit songs from the 90s accompanied by an eight-piece section of musicians from the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra. Local Tallahassee doctors and song writers Hugh and Cody VanLandingham will join Billy Dean and open the show with songs from Billy’s recently released extended play record, Gadsden County Line. Billy Dean is an American troubadour who has mastered the art of singing, songwriting, and storytelling. His unique ability to morph into the characters in his songs, brings the storyline to life, captivating his audiences with musical drama. Billy’s finger-style acoustic guitar playing is reminiscent of James Taylor, and his charismatic charm and approachable personality make his concerts an instant favorite.
