October 20, 2025Wedding performer
We loved working with Kendall and were so grateful to have her as a part of our wedding day! She performed indoors & outdoors in multiple locations for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance song. She was willing to learn songs we specifically requested that were meaningful to us, making our experience special and unique just for us! Her style of music and covers were right up our alley (or, aisle), and the performance was high quality with good sound and equipment. We had no issues with communication, scheduling, payment, day-of coordination, etc. I highly recommend you book Kendall for your event or wedding!!
Hired as: One Man Band

About
Kendall Dean is a professional vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. She has a storied history of live performances, musical arrangements, and professional recordings. She prides herself on her unique sound and musical versatility, breaking boundaries with crossing genre borders.
Kendall covers a wide range of genres all with soulful warmth in tone- ranging from touching Modern Folk Pop, to Blues/R&B, to Celtic music along with Jazz influences. Her original music covers Modern New Age, Neo Folk Pop, and R&B genres with a Celtic twist. If there's a song in mind, high chances are that Kendall can cover it.
Her ethereal vocal melodies have been referred to as, "The voice of an angel", with similar vocal tonalities as the voices of Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Merchant, and her soaring, emotive violin riffs have been likened to the eclectic sounds of violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and Lindsey Stirling.
Kendall is a classically and traditionally trained violinist ( she’s been playing for over 25 years, acoustic and electric violin ), a self-taught guitarist, and trained vocalist. She uses a Boss RC300 looping system to create colorful soundscape layers for her own originals and cover remakes when performing live. Her primary instrument is the violin, and she loops live string tracks with her 5 string electric violin.
