"It’s a physical performance.

He plays and sings like he knows

what he’s singing to the bone."

-Parisa Mahdad, Kinofilia Arts Blog

Dylan Charles is a singer/songwriter/producer based in Ann Arbor, MI. His music runs the gamut from acoustic americana and blues to indie soul and pop/rock.

He is currently releasing a series of singles for a concept album called LIGHTside/darkSIDE. The first two tracks “Ship” and “Seeing You” are now streaming on all platforms and more are on the way.

LIGHTside/darkSIDE will be Dylan’s most ambitious solo record since his work with Bisbee, AZ band The Border Crossers on Time for Breakfast (2009) and Scorpions, Sickles & Skyscrapers (2011); both albums produced by Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Amos Lee, Devotchka and many more…)

While living in New York City from 2012-2023, Dylan’s creative energy was primarily dedicated to touring, writing and recording with his soul band On the Sun before he stepped down from the group in 2020. On the Sun LP (2014), Gratuity Not Included EP (2018) and the single Get Focused (Live) (2019) all feature his work. 

In addition to his own projects, he frequently collaborates with other artists as a producer, co-writer and multi-instrumentalist.
