And so, our direct involvement with the Dean Martin Hometown Festival has formally come to an end.

We were honored and delighted to be part of the only major and official Dean Martin celebration anywhere in the world – but it is time for a new team to take over The Annual Dean Martin Festival, Steubenville, Ohio, for 2027 onwards, and we hope you will join us as we give them all our unalloyed support and encouragement.

We will continue to advertise and post when the new team shares with us all the exciting things they have planned.

The wild and woolly world of Martin & Lewis! Issue 440 of our long-running publication (which began in November 1960) is available now to our subscribers. Celebrating 80 years of Martin and Lewis, we welcome guest writers Richard S Greene (author of Marketing Mayhem! Selling Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis To Post-War America) and Judy Stabile, niece of Dean and Jerry’s bandleader Dick Stabile. Plus, the Living It Up Capitol EP, The Colgate Comedy Hour, the legacy of Dean and Jerry in the 21st century…and more!

Written by DMA founder Bernard H Thorpe, with Dean’s exclusive permission, Dean Martin Recollections is a unique re-telling of the life and vocation of a legendary entertainer who scaled the heights of Hollywood to attain worldwide fame and recognition. It’s also the story of how an unassuming man from the British media industry became a dedicated ambassador and friend.
