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.
Dylan became a seasoned professional at a very young age. He has played with such notable musicians 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. (video clip) (Friday Night is Guitar Night)(More)
Formerly known as the Barn Dogs, Birdsey Beers is led by singer songwriter Jerry Snover from Easton, CT. In Snover's early career he spent six years as a full-time professional musician expat in Osaka, Japan. Now living in Easton, CT he had created a musical home under the not so obscure name “Big Red Barn”, a 150-year-old barn now dedicated to supporting local music and events. It is there where he met Dan Broderick, Jody Matejka, and Jeff Gurner to complete the Easton based quartet of Birdsey Beers. (video clip) (More)
