From Folk to Funk, singer/songwriter, storyteller, and guitarist Dylan Charles delivers dynamic performances with a full band and as a solo act.  In his skillfully crafted songs he explores a kaleidoscope of styles, blending the down-home feel and lyrical depth of American roots music with funky grooves, soulful vocals, and rock ‘n’ roll energy. 


In addition to frequent regional performances, Dylan has shared the stage with 2010 Grammy nominated blues icon John Hammond, Texas guitar virtuoso Junior Brown, been featured as “Local Pick-of-the-Week” on 91.3 KXCI Tucson Community Radio, and plays Mandolin with multi-award winning Tucson bluegrass band The Dusty Buskers.

Dylan began his music career at a young age writing songs and performing in Ann Arbor, MI before studying jazz at the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.

In 2007 Dylan fell into the vortex of Bisbee, AZ where he was enchanted by the desert vibrations that now permeate his unique brand of Americana. In 2009 he released his debut solo album “Time For Breakfast” recorded at WAVELAB studios in Tucson, AZ with producer Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Devotchka, Neko Case) which had Stephen Seigel of the TUCSON WEEKLY exclaiming "A darn good album...  impressive!" 

Festivals he has performed in include: South by Southwest (Austin, TX), Midpoint Music Festival (Cincinnati, OH), Earthworks Harvest Gathering (Lake City, MI), Bisbee Blues Festival(Bisbee, AZ), Tucson Street Fair (Tucson, AZ), 9th Annual Concert for Peace (Ann Arbor, MI), Pick-A-Mania (Silver City, NM).

He is currently in the studio working on a new album scheduled for release in Fall 2011.
