Cabin Fever!

With over 235 years combined musical experience and the incredible horn stylings of Dean Dewees, Cabin Fever is sure to thrill the ears of young and old alike. Playing an eclectic mix of jazz, blues and classic favorites from the 1920's through the 1970's, as well as an original composition or two, an evening with Cabin Fever is a cultural treasure you will always remember.

Dean's highly nuanced horn playing will take you back to yesteryear, when truly great musicians still graced the airwaves. Every concert this gifted musician plays is a "can't miss" concert. Dean has played with such greats as Louis Armstrong, The Inkspots, Stan Borenson, and Lawrence Welk, and it clearly shows with every note he plays. He also performed numerous times on The Ted Mack Show, winning numerous awards.

Ray's piano playing is nothing short of virtuoso. When he plays "Flight of the Bumble Bee Boogie", it is hard to believe that any person could move his fingers so quickly and precisely, let alone a gentleman in his mid-seventies. And no one on this planet plays honky-tonk piano with as much heart and soul as Ray. After concerts, people often come up and count Ray's fingers--several times--refusing to believe that he has only ten. Honest, he's that good.

Paul Graves is an accomplished guitarist, excelling in many different styles of music. He has played with countless Northwest bands, released several CD's, and is currently working on a solo CD. Paul's lively and fluid solos on "Red House" take blues guitar playing to a higher level, while his incredible arrangement of "Over The Rainbow" provides a perfect backdrop for Dean's virtuoso trumpet playing.

Roger Dewees not only excels on drums and percussion, but also has a warm enchanting voice that helps create that distinctive “Cabin Fever” sound. Roger has played with numerous great bands, including The Chessmen (1961-1962, Hoquiam, WA), The Raindrops (one of Dean’s early bands), navy dance bands, and several rock bands. His drum style is similar to Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, and he really gets the crowd going with his solos.

Bill Allyn (bass and drums) has played with numerous northwest bands including Partner, Second Nature, Ben and The Geriatrix, Fossil, and Springwater, releasing numerous CD’s along the way. Bill also doubles as the band’s soundman and recording engineer, graphics designer, web designer, media and print guru, videographer, and all-around techie sort of guy, and also works on bookings and promotion.
