Ira Dean is a Nashville-based country artist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. A co-founder of Trick Pony, he has since built an equally impressive career as a solo artist and behind-the-scenes hitmaker, with cuts for Montgomery Gentry, Chris Young, Jake Owen, Gary Allan, and Joe Nichols.
His most recent solo album, I Got Roads, features collaborations with Vince Gill, Gretchen Wilson, and Jeffrey Steele, and is available now on all platforms. He is currently signed to 8Track Entertainment.
Ira has worn Jeri Hart guitar straps since the early days of his career. His collection includes the IFD strap, a custom bandolier strap, and an Italian embossed croc strap with vintage star hardware. All three are pictured on the left, captured onstage where they belong.
The final photo is a personal favorite: Ira and Jeri the very first time they met, some 23 years ago. That day, Ira walked away with two straps: a camo airbrushed strap and a red snakeskin flames on black leather. The red one had actually been made for Kid Rock, who never showed up backstage to claim it. Kid Rock spotted the straps on Ira, loved them, and wanted them. Ira told him he could have them if Trick Pony got to open for him on his next tour. Kid Rock agreed. The deal was done.
Not bad for a couple of guitar straps.
