La Vista es Buena
Our world premiere of Buena Vista Social Club at the Atlantic Theater Company was sold out throughout its extended run. Looking forward to the next phase.

Brilliant guitarist and composer Stephen Ulrich wrote a bunch of music for This American Life. With NPR’s blessing (and the keyboard genius of Thomas Bartlett) we expanded it into a full-length album. Out now on Barbes Records.
Producer, Mixer, Engineer, Mastering, Drums
I am a Grammy-winning music producer and recording engineer from New York. I also supervise and coordinate music teams for theater and television.
I started the drums at age six, and I’ve played them with a diverse range of artists, from Joan Baez to Sting. They all seem to be into yoga.
I am a sucker for language, design, and a dry New York Sour.
I ride an airhead whenever possible.
Dean hires some of the finest musicians I have ever worked with. They enjoy their jobs, feel well taken care of, and give 100% all the time. His impressive organizational skills and attention to detail are matched only by his kindness and effortless leadership. Dean is also an exceptional musician and a wonderful colleague.
The Last Ship is primarily a play about community; it was important that all of us telling the story formed our own community of spirit and common purpose. Dean understood this implicitly, both as musician (he stood in as drummer on a number of occasions) and in the musicians he selected for our ensemble as music coordinator. I couldn’t have been happier.
Dean made the Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson album everything we were hoping for. It has the polish and punch of the studio, yet retains all the energy and immediacy of the live show.
