He performs regularly at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and has toured Europe and Australia.
Dehlinger's orchestral arrangement of Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" was recorded by San Francisco's Punk Rock Orchestra with Grammy winning engineer Leslie Ann Jones, and was featured on NPR's Weekend Edition.
