Synopsis

Doors 7:30pm Show 8pm Price: $10 With special guests Daryn Alexus, Cloudstomper and Emma Jayne Growing up an outsider in the blue laws of Utah, Chicago's Dylan Rice overcame his Episcopalian choir-boy desolation by clinging to his Fender Strat and reveling in the moody Brit-pop of crooners like Morrissey, Dave Gahan, and Peter Murphy. Mix that with a penchant for writing fevered folk-rock melodies in the spirit of Chris Isaak, Cowboy Junkies, and Camper Van Beethoven, and you have a rare talent with a singular voice that's all his own. Dylan has opened for national touring acts including Paula Cole, Shelby Lynne, Eric Hutchinson, Shara Worden, and has collaborated with Wilco's John Stirratt, Styx's Chuck Panozzo, Grazyna Auguscik, Johnny Iguana, and Matt Ulery. His discography includes "Wandering Eyes," "Electric Grids and Concrete Towers" and Columbia Records' "Music With A Twist: Revolutions" compilation alongside The Gossip, Sarah Bettens, and Ivri Lider. Dylan is currently vocalist for the synth-rock band Software Giant, releasing their debut "We Are Overcome" in 2015. He also leads the City of Chicago's music industry program at the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
