Dean wrote: Hi my name is Dean and I play in an acoustic duo with my brother Neil called simply "The Atkinson Brothers".   We have a spirited sound with strong vocal harmonies and musicianship as well as solid originals that we are currently in the process of recording. We've been playing together for as long as I can remember so we have a unique chemistry and tight musical bond.

We've played anywhere from house concerts to pubs to wedding to fundraisers and festivals. Some artists we emulate are:  The Band, Lyle Lovitt, Dan Mangan, Mumford and Sons, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Greateful Dead, Simon and Garfunkel.

For more background, Neil and I were in a band called "Kings Without" for 8 years that played regularly for Guests at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort to give a testament to our caliber. Some of those guests included Dave Mathews, Sarah Mclauchlan and Jim Cuddy. Here is some footage of us playing a set with Jim.  (I'm on keys and Neil on lead guitar in this one) This was a proud moment for us!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvHKu_1Rcp4    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CAMjsPXS9k
