Puppy Time!!

Each day, Dean’s tour manager arranges “puppy time” where Dean, the band, and crew get to meet dogs from the city’s local humane society. Pups from Humane Society of Durham Region came to play mid-afternoon. All four dogs were too cute to be true!! If you’re in the area on June 10, you can go to the Humane Society of Durham Region‘s Open House!!

Soundcheck

Dean and his band are the first to hit the stage for soundcheck. Dean does a few vocal exercises to ensure the levels on his mic are up to par. Together, they run through a few songs and discuss any alterations that may be made to that night’s show.

Fans Arrive for the VIP Experience

Before the show, Dean hosts a VIP experience for fans who bought VIP packages. Dean begins the VIP by performing 2 songs. In Oshawa, he performed an acoustic version of his hit ‘Dirt’ and a newly written song, ‘Lullaby’. After that, fans got a chance to ask Dean questions. The cutest moment had to be when he picked up his youngest fan in the room, who was sporting an adorable pink cowboy hat!

The Beauitful Freakshow Begins…

Dean Brody’s Beautiful Freakshow Tour is a spectacle. From the opening acts, James Barker Band and High Valley, to the star himself, each performance had the audience wanting more. Dean began his set with the Summer 2016 hit, ‘Bush Party’ which got the crowd up on their feet and ready to party. Other highlights included the ‘camp stage’ where Dean brought a young fan, Jacob, to sit and watch three stripped-down performances on the mini stage at the back of the arena. Dean brought Jacob’s mom onstage when he heard it was her birthday and the whole arena serenaded her together. Later in the set, Dean ran through the crowd singing Canadian Girls, while walking on the barriers with security hovered around him to ensure he didn’t fall! (Watch the videos on our Twitter!) All in all, the Oshawa show was certainly one for the books and will be remembered by all who attended.
