It's been a while since I have entered a blog here on The Bis-Man site. I hope all is well with everyone. I have to say I was very saddened by the death of Wes Schmidt. He was a great drummer and a very nice friend. He will be missed.

We have a busy summer ahead down here in Mpls. We have a busy schedule all over the metro area and are working on a weekend back there in Bismarck as well. My band is always amazed at how many people from North Dakota and Bismarck there are down here. They show up at every show, and we appreciate the support.

We have a new female singer in the band. Her name is Heather Hunter and she rocks! We'll be bringing her to Bismarck soon.

If you don't have our latest CD, it's available at Nightlife Music.

Thanks all. Hope to see you soon!

The DWB is excited to be coming to Bismarck to play the weekend of Aug. 12-13 at The Stadium Bar and Grille. It will be great to see all my old friends! Hope you can make it out.

It's a bit bittersweet because we are having a memorial for my brother Tom on the afternoon of the 13th. But let's spend the evening celebrating with music and fun in his honor!

Hope to see you there!

Well, as you may have heard, we got a little snow down here in Minneapolis. The Dean Weisser Band was booked to open for Derek St. Holmes, (Nugent), Jimi Jamison, (Survivor), Frank Stallone, (Rocky Music Writer), and Fergie Frederiksen, (Toto) on Dec. 11 for a benefit for boxing great, Scott LeDoux.

After we got hit with 17" of snow, equipment trailers not being able to make it, and musicians getting snowed in, we formed a band to play the event with musicians that could make it and my equipment. The band consisted of Derek St. Holmes, Jimi Jamison, Frank Stallone, Dean Weisser, Mark Hoyt, and Mark Johnson. We played the whole night, had a great time, great crowd and raised thousands of dollars for Scott. It was a night I won't forget! What a blast!
