Glen “Deano” Dean - Deano is a very talented singer, musician and guitar player. After sitting in with the band for a number of gigs, Deano joined Down Maggie. Deano started out on the alto sax in middle school, but it wasn’t rock-n-rolly enough, so his dad bought him a seventeen-dollar used Harmony acoustic with the f holes, from Woody’s Second Hand Store on Grand River Ave. Building off other’s music is his strong suit. He has a knack for being to add something tasteful to most any piece of music.

Influenced by his older brother Steve and his Les Paul Standard Sunburst, Deano caught the rock-n-rolls at a very young age. He has the ability to enhance any song with his guitar soloing, from blazing solos to solos with a complex range of sounds and effects. His talent as a musician is phenomenal.

Deano has played guitar, bass and drums with various rock, blues, country and top 40 bands over the years. He also enjoys writing and recording music.

Kevin Krumm - Kevin Krumm, a fantastic bass player, has been a professional musician playing with various rock groups around the Lansing area for decades. Down Maggie welcomes Kevin back after a short hiatus. Kevin played his first gig with us in 2014, with a broken hand! He didn't miss a beat! He is the consummate professional musician and his talents and skills have helped guide our songwriting. Kevin's bass playing is superb!

Kevin is an extremely talented bass guitar player with stage presence and depth as a musician. He is a laid back, cool cat keeping the beat! We're very extremely grateful that Kevin is a member of Down Maggie!
