About the Artist
Before Deasy was a solo artist, he spent seven years with a band he helped formed in 1994 called Gathering Field. Today Deasy also writes songs for other artists and travels to Nashville regularly to collaborate.

Deasy, a Pittsburgh native, has played as an opening act for John Mellencamp, Norah Jones and Bob Dylan. And chances are that if you've been to a couple of Pittsburgh Pirates or Steelers games, you've seen him perform the National Anthem.

As a boy, Deasy was fascinated with Elvis Presley, and his family had an impact on his musical development as well. "My brother was really into Neil Young and James Taylor and Springsteen, and they've had a lasting impact on the way I write songs," Deasy said. "But Van Morrison is my all-time hero. I don't think I sound or write like him, but I have every record he's ever made," Deasy said.

Deasy loves reading novels and finds inspiration in books. "I approach songwriting almost like a novelist as far as the discipline of it, and I take what I do seriously from a literary point of view," Deasy said.

He recently released a new album entitled Good Day No Rain.
