Dennis Roger Reed
Three First Names
Dennis Roger Reed is a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist based in Southern California. He's
made tens and tens of dollars over the years performing throughout the US and Canada at folk, blues
and bluegrass festivals… and clubs, bars, corporate events, supermarket openings and once with a
blues band at a Chinese restaurant on St. Patrick's Day.
His recordings have been written about and received airplay throughout the world, particularly in
Belgium, Australia and Canada. He also has written about music for a number of publications
including Mojo, the OC Weekly, FolkWorks, Gram Parsons: God's Own Singer by Jason Walker and
American Cinema and the Southern Imaginary edited by Deborah Barker and Kathryn B. McKee. He has
danced on stage as part of the Little Richard Revue and Paul Simon's band, actually requested by the
former and luckily unnoticed by the latter.
