Event
Dana Maragos & Dylan Doyle
An intimate dinner performance at Uncommon Ground Lakeview,
featuring Dana Maragos & Dylan Doyle (with Brian Wilikie)
--------------
Local recording artist (folk), singer-songwriter, Dana Maragos, returns to the hospitality of Uncommon Ground from the recent sold out EP Dana release party. Honest and lyrical, the music is spacious and unvarnished reflecting her style. Songs are reflection of her personal journey and shared experience. With a preference for playing out and meeting people, she traverses clubs all over Chicago and across the Midwest where she explores the open mics, makes new friends, listens to new voices.
Born and raised in South Chicago, she began (and continues to) sing in church, and at the age 8 she bought her first guitar for $25 in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. Dana moved to Libertyville as a teen, and later attended U of I in Champaign-Urbana.
The enigmatic and versatile, Brian Wilkie, will be joining Dana and Dylan on this show, adding brilliant color on pedal steel and guitar.
--------------
Southern born, Northern raised , Dylan Doyle has been steeped in everything from Bob Dylan, Wes Montgomery, and Bill Withers to John Prine, Jimi Hendrix, and The Band. From this comes a unique musical interpretation that lies somewhere within the delta of Roots, Rock, and Jazz, giving him a style that defies classification.
Touring nationally since age 15, Dylan became a seasoned professional at a very young age. He has played with such notable musicians 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.
