New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Soulful indie folk/Americana artist DYLAN HARTIGAN, a New Jersey-bred singer, songwriter and guitarist, will join esteemed rock n soul artist Maggie Rose for a handful of shows this April on the East Coast (itinerary below). Rose co-produced DYLAN's upcoming album alongside Grammy nominated producer
Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha,
Drake White) in Nashville. DYLAN will reveal the first new music from his full-length album, due out later this year, on Friday, April 3 with the achingly heartfelt single "My Island." Meanwhile, DYLAN is currently performing a series of intimate, secret gigs hosted by Sofar
Sounds throughout March. He will be donating 50% of profits made from these shows to aid Nashville tornado relief efforts.
DYLAN will appear in support of Maggie Rose and Them Vibes at the following shows:
Wednesday, April 8 - Philadelphia, PA @ World Café Live
Thursday, April 9 - Asbury Park, NJ @ Asbury Lanes
Friday, April 10 - Brooklyn, NY @ Knitting Factory
"The tour with Maggie is going to be bomb," says DYLAN. "The drive is born into us and not manufactured or molded to fit an archetype, we both get 'it.' That realness and raw energy is not something you can fake during a live performance." He adds, "People should come if they want to smile and really want to feel a sense of family and community. We've built a home with our music and we love and support each other."
DYLAN may appear familiar to some from his starring role in the 2012 coming-of-age film Funeral Kings, acting roles in TV shows "Law and Order" and "The
Black Donnellys," and more recently, his Season 14 performances as a finalist in 2018 on NBC's "The Voice," earning praise from such national outlets as the Hollywood Reporter which described him as "soulful and charming [with] impressive range." Notably, "
The Voice" judge
Kelly Clarkson invited DYLAN to perform onstage during her "Meaning of Life" tour date on March 9, 2019 at PPL Center in Allentown, PA. Following the show, DYLAN was introduced to Maggie Rose and her manager. Pre-save "My Island" on all digital streaming platforms and head over to American Songwriter on Thursday, April 2 to hear an exclusive advance listen to the single.
