ARTISTS SPEAK ABOUT DEAN MARKLEY STRINGS
 

Dean Markley's artists are a fun bunch of performers indeed!

The vigorous, indefatigable, and bountiful Randy Fuchs caught up with a few of them at their various gigs.

And Michael Magic provided us with some of the videos. His have “deanmarkley.com” in the lower right corner of the video's screen.

It's fun to watch our artists expressing themselves off stage. Take this opportunity to see each of them in another light.
