Dylan Doyle

press release: Guitar prodigy Dylan Doyle will fill the Al. Ringling Theatre with his Americana and roots rock sounds at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 11.

Touring nationally since the age of 15, Doyle has shared the stage with bandmates of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Otis Redding and Little Feat. Southern-born and Northern-raised, 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 Americana, roots, rock and jazz.

"Dylan Doyle's melding of classic styles will delight fans of multiple genres," says Liz Nevers, interim director of the Al. Ringling Theatre. "He's a young, yet seasoned, musician whose sound will be a treat for audiences at our historical venue."

Tickets, on sale for $15-$20 for floor seats and $30-$35 for box seats, are available at alringling.org<http://www.alringling.org/>, by phone at 608.356.8864 during box office hours and at our box office, 136 Fourth Ave., from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Tuesday-Friday, as well as one hour before the show.

This performance is brought to you with support from Greenhalgh Legal Services, the Greater Sauk County Foundation, Sauk County, Wisconsin Public Arts Board and Wisconsin Public Radio.
