Deric Dyer was born in Ireland and lived in England until 1967, when his trumpet-player father moved his family to Bermuda – where Deric’s musical career began. In Spring of 1975, after meeting Cliff Goodwin and joining the American Standard Band, Deric moved to America. Just two years later, ASB would become Joe Cocker‘s band. Playing in Joe’s horn section with the legendary Bobby Keys, “Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder” Deric quickly learned the art of Rock/R&amp;B sax. This proved to be valuable experience for what was still to come in his career. After a couple of years of playing with Joe, Deric left to play and record with many of the best of Boston’s music scene, a highlight recording with Rick Ocasek of The Cars on his first solo album Beatitude.
Deric’s next life-changing opportunity came in January 1987, when he had the good fortune to audition for Rock And Roll Hall of Fame -Tina Turner. He spent an amazing two years as part of her Break Every Rule World Tour, and when Tina was paired with Joe Cocker on Summer festival shows in Germany, Deric and Joe rekindled their friendship. Deric wasn’t home long from TT tour when manager Michael Lang (Woodstock Promoter) called to ask if he would like to re-join Joe Cocker and the rest of the band for the Unchain My Heart World Tour. Deric jumped at the chance to revisit that special time in his career.
Deric continued to tour with Joe throughout the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s, as well as playing with Roger Hodgson, Al Jarreau, Tony Hadley and Andrea Bocelli. Belgium’s Night of The Proms reunited him with his Tina band mate (and the best man at his wedding), John Miles. In 2012 and 2013, Deric was asked to take part in the John Lennon Double Fantasy Bermuda Tribute Concerts, where he worked with Maxi Priest, Biggie Irie, Roy Young, Uzimon and many amazing Bermudian artists to celebrate the music of John Lennon.
Two years after losing Joe, arguably the greatest voice in Rock &amp; Roll, Deric reached out to his old friends to ask if they could come together again to help keep Joe’s music alive. Their answer was a resounding “YES!” and “Mad Dogs Unchained” was born. MDU went on to play Worcester’s Bull Mansion (among other New England venues), release an hour-long documentary video with a live CD, and travel Europe for eighteen shows in 2018.
During the pandemic, Deric also collaborated with James Duncan and Tony Brannon to produce “Hope!” - a song for the time - with the goal of helping lift the spirits of people everywhere.
Deric Produced the Trilbee Kings album. Working with Executive Producer Rich Kneeland, Deric &amp; Rich, with some of the best musicians in the world, headed of to Los Angeles to record at the famous Sunset Sound Studios. Deric plays soaring solos that adds the final, rich sound to the T.K. Album.
On July 4th 2023 Deric performed in celebration of Tina Turner at New York City’s Macy’s/NBC fireworks display, seen live by millions all over the world. Later that year was a special guest speaker at the Tina Turner Museum - West Delta Heritage Center Brownsville TN. Deric also rereleased Renaissance Man with the additional track “Tennessee Waltz” Sept 2023.
This September brings the release of Deric’s sixth album Red String. A beautiful mix of classic songs from Dylan “Make You Feel My Love” Lennon “Imagine” to Jim Webb “Wichita Lineman” Another captivating musical journey!

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
