‍Guitar star Dylan Doyle delights audiences, but frustrates anyone trying to define his sound....It’s his job to play it. And that’s what the Dylan Doyle Band will do..." - Wisconsin News‍

‍Based in the Hudson Valley, rising star Dylan Doyle has been performing nationally, as well as internationally.  Southern bred, northern raised, his trio’s style of music lies somewhere between roots rock and jam funk. It evokes Woodstock and dips into southern soul; a uniquely American sound.Touring nationally since age 15, Dylan became a seasoned professional while relatively young.  He has played with notable musicians such as, Rob Stoner (Bob Dylan, Don Mclean), John Platania (Van Morrison, Natalie Merchant), Ben Cauley (Otis Redding) and Bill Payne (Little Feat).  

Stoner called Dylan one of the most prodigious players he has known, with abundant natural talent.  John Platania has referred to Dylan as “The Future.”  Ben Cauley, after playing with Dylan in Memphis said, “Dylan Doyle sounds like a young Jimi Hendrix.”  In the words of Bill Payne upon sharing the stage, “Music is a conversation.  Dylan spoke beautifully and was listening to the musicians around him. His play was imaginative and original.”

Attesting to Dylan’s versatility, Dylan has played the King Biscuit Blues Festival three consecutive years as well headlining the Grateful Garcia Gathering, the largest Grateful Dead festival in the Midwest. He consistently packs houses across Europe and the US.

“As we say in the the south, 'this boy has the real goods'.” - Butch Dener - Manager of 'The Band'

"It is with great pleasure I put the spotlight on a wonderful musician......Dylan sat in on Little Feat’s “Dixie Chicken” that evening. His playing was flawless and inventive. Live performance is not about only playing a song but being aware of the conversation and flow of those you’re playing with. His musicianship was impressive. I wish him the very best on the journey he’s undertaking as a songwriter and leader of his own band. I look forward to our next conversation." -Bill Payne of Little Feat
