A short bio: Dewey Paul Band is the current solo music project from Dewey Decibel System founder, Dewey Paul Moffitt. Dewey is not only highly respected among his peers as a hard working musician and singer-songwriter but is also recognized for his event promotion work and audio engineering in today's live concert business. Having played the guitar since the early age of 9, Dewey's passion for writing songs and performing has never wained. He managed to release 5 CDs with Dewey Decibel System from 1995 to 2006. The project originated in Florida but relocated to Colorado in 1998. All the while, Dewey has been very active behind the scenes as well. While living in the San Francisco bay area in the early 1990s, he set up dressing rooms at Grateful Dead shows for the legendary concert promoter Bill Graham. By the mid 1990s he was producing large-scale music festivals with friends back in Gainesville, Florida. He continued his festival work on the road sound engineering for many major country artists touring from coast to coast. Since the late 1990's, Dewey has been performing in various music projects, production managing and sound engineering around Denver, Colorado. From his festival direction work for Denver's LODO Music and Blues & Bones Festivals to his production managing and audio engineering at the Bluebird, Ogden, Gothic, and Oriental Theaters as well as six years of audio engineering at Denver's Pepsi Center Arena, he has contributed a respectable amount of work throughout the Colorado region. In 2004, Dewey set out on tour again as audio engineer with Chicago's soulful R&B outfit, Sonia Dada. He's regularly invited to sit in on all-star jam sessions and has participated as a guest musician on 4 annual reenactments of The Band's famous Last Waltz Concert. He also produces an annual charity event which celebrates the songs of Bob Dylan while benefiting music in Colorado public schools. More than 80 Denver area musicians have participated in that annual charity event along with legendary Jerry Garcia Band keyboardist Melvin Seals. The benefit actually spawned a touring All-Star Bob Dylan cover group, Dylan66, which Dewey founded and performs with. Along with the obvious influences of Bob Dylan, and (the) Grateful Dead, Dewey cites Van Morrison, Jackson Browne, J.J. Cale, and Todd Rundgren as his main musical sources of inspiration. With his artistic passion being derived from living a well-traveled life on the road, he manages to blend those experiences with his expertise in the acoustic sciences resulting in his own unique style of introspective songwriting. He draws much of this inspiration from his past experiences of bohemian living, to personal relationships and the common struggles of the everyday human condition. Dewey was born a fourth generation native of Coshocton, Ohio, but has since adopted many additional hometowns throughout his journey such as Boca Raton, Florida, Oakland, California, Gainesville, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana, Lawrence, Kansas, Denver, and most recently Summit County, Colorado. "On The Devil's Highway" marks the first official release for Dewey Paul Band. Eight cuts of the eleven track CD feature Dewey performing all the instrumentation himself while three tracks feature Dewey Paul Band members Tim Steele, Aylon Baru and Ben King. The content mixes up styles from Dewey's various influences of the singer-songwriter, country, pop, blues, and jam band genres.

	5th July 2007 -Crested Butte Weekly MUSIC MATTERS Dylan66 Pays Tribute to a Living Legend at Cowboys Bar-B-Que Chris Kelly "I've been trying to come up with a funny story or joke about our name," says Dewey Paul, singer and guitarist with Dylan66, "but the truth is, it's Bob Dylan?s age." But Dylan66 is not your average cover band, in fact, they're not a cover band at all. The lead vocalist for the band is female vocalist Chella Negro who Dewey describes as the "voice of the band." Now that?s a novel way to approach that classic Bob Dylan style... with a lady singer. Click here for full article.

The co-owner of the Oriental Theater, 4335 West 44th Avenue, Moffitt has paid homage to Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits and the Band. But last year's Bob Dylan tribute, Dylan65 (dubbed so because it was held on Dylan's 65th birthday), drew by far the biggest crowd. "Bob's crossovers reach every genre of music. He is the best to interpret in your own way," Moffitt says. Last year's monumental response motivated Moffitt to do it again... but this time, even bigger... Click here for full article.

Reviews: June 2007 -WhatsDoingTonight.com from WHATSDOINGTONIGHT.COM: by Mark Stout Two shows put on at the Oriental Theater - Dylan 65 and Who's Incognito - in the last month pulled together some of the biggest names in music for two incredible nights of musical entertainment. The first of these was the Dylan 65 show organized by Dewey Moffitt of Dewey Decibel System. A tribute to Bob Dylan on his 65th birthday, the show featured some of the hottest performers on the Denver music scene. The show was an organizational and musical masterpiece. In moments between songs when my attention wasn't fully on the music, I was left to wonder just how Moffitt managed to organize so many performers and pull it all off without a hitch. Talent rendering Dylan's songs included: Adam Stern of Double Parked; Angie Stevens; Aylon Baru; Bill McKay of Double Parked, Leftover Salmon; Brian Sofer; Bridget Law; Chris Barber of Spiv; Anna Zimmerli; Chris Stake of The Trampolines; Dan Treanor; Dewey Paul Moffitt; Evan Sitchler of Electrodelic; Jake Wolf of Shakedown Street and Rocky Mountain Grateful Dead Revue; Jeff St. Andrews; Jim Dalton of The Railbenders; Jimmy Giachetti of Soul Patch and U.S. Pipe; John Common; Jose' Rossy of Sonia Dada; Mark Sundermeier of The Trampolines; Michael "Stork" Caprara of Natchez Bound & Purple Buddha; Michelle Caponigro of Natchez Bound & Purple Buddha; Mike "Spanky" McCluer of Double Parked Two Ton Moxie; Mike Studeny of Hot Feet Herring; Missy Gutreuter of Soul Patch and U.S. Pipe Paul "Dr. Poz" Cohen of Double Parked; Peter Stelling of Two Ton Moxie; R.C. Griffin Jr.; Scott Baxendale; the legendary Terry Dalton; Tom Piercy of Double Parked; Tori Pater of Polytoxic. See what I mean about an organizational and music masterpiece? If you are one of the unfortunate few who missed the show, Moffit is doing it again on July 28th at Quixote's. Click Here for source page
