Jamie Dean

Irish multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer Jamie Dean has built a career defined by expansive sound, high-level touring experience and proven performance on international stages. Jamie Dean spent a decade performing worldwide with Irish post-rock pioneers God Is an Astronaut, contributing to multiple studio albums and playing sold-out shows across Europe, North America and beyond. Following his tenure with the band, Jamie Dean joined the touring lineup of acclaimed singer-songwriter Gavin James, performing on lead guitar, bass, keys and backing vocals at major festivals and headline shows. Alongside his band work, Jamie Dean has released solo material that received national airplay on RTÉ 2FM and FM104, while his composition work has expanded into the gaming world. His music features in a forthcoming PlayStation and Xbox title, for which he composed and scored the official trailer premiered by IGN. Now fronting Glass Pawns, a two-piece grunge project, Jamie Dean channels over a decade of international touring and studio experience into something louder, heavier and immediate. The band has already shared stages with Fangclub at Whelan’s and God Alone, building strong momentum on the live circuit ahead of upcoming UK dates. The debut Glass Pawns EP, The Weight of Want, has been recorded and is set for release this year — a raw, heavy and hook-driven statement that positions the project firmly within the modern alternative and grunge landscape.
