The Franklin Theatre – An Evening with Billy Dean – Wednesday, June 8th, 2016

There was a time in Billy Dean’s life when it looked like basketball was his future, not a stage. The 6’4″ singer from Florida received a basketball scholarship to attend East Central Junior College in Decatur, Miss., where he majored in physical education. But music was always courtside.

After he made the finals of the Wrangler Country Star Search in 1982 and then became a male vocalist champ on Ed McMahon’s Star Search in 1988, Billy earned a Top 5 hit in 1990 with his debut country single, “Only Here For A Little While.” His second single, “Somewhere In My Broken Heart,” also went Top 5, as did follow-up singles “You Don’t Count The Cost,” “Only The Wind” and “Billy The Kid.”
