There's nothing like great, Maine Made music! This week, Ryan got to hang out with Dean Ford at the Q studio. Dean has been performing around Maine, making music, and opening up for really big acts here in Portland for years!

Dean opened up for O-Town with Todd Carey this month at the Asylum in Portland, and has appeared on stage with bands like Panic! At The Disco, Foxy Shazam, Fitz and the Tantrums, O-Town, Aaron Carter, Teddy Geiger, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Forever The Sickest Kids, and more.

Dean came by the Q studio today, and Ryan put him in the hot seat for 97 Seconds!

Check out Dean on Facebook and his website at ItsDeanFord.com. His latest album, "Get Messy," is out right now! Support local and get his album on iTunes here.
