Soulful indie folk/Americana singer-songwriter DYLAN HARTIGAN today (June 26) has released the single “Not I” that “will remind you of psychedelic Beatles era” according to Americana Highways which hosted an exclusive premiere of the track yesterday (June 25). The introspective track, which can be heard below, is DYLAN‘s personal interpretation of religion and what happens to oneself in the afterlife.

DYLAN elaborates, “The meaning behind ‘Not I’ is a religious one. It was conceived in a deep spiritual moment and it was one of those third eye opening moments. I grew up believing in Catholicism and though I grew to believe in other things, I think all religions are beautiful because anything that can provide more of a meaning to your existence is A-OK in my book. My personal religion is reflected in this song by my belief that all my growth that takes place in this world will transcend into the next. That my soul will escape whatever it is I would call my ‘body’ and ever expand. Allowing me to become one with the infinity that is the universe.”

“Not I” was recorded by Grammy-nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville alongside co-producer and rock n soul artist Maggie Rose. The track will be featured on DYLAN‘s upcoming yet-to-be-titled debut album due this fall alongside two previously released singles: “My Island” and “What’s In The Cards.”

“The production of ‘Not I’ came from a Beatles vibe,” shares DYLAN. “I wanted the verses to sound underwater and the choruses to be in the sky. I think the band and producer made that happen.”

DYLAN is currently on an innovative tour performing acoustically as the opening act for a stretch of pop-up drive-in movie nights put on by the transportation app, BOXCAR, across his hometown, New Jersey. Watch a drone-shot trailer from one of the recent nights streaming below. For further details and tickets, please visit www.boxcarapp.com/movies.

DYLAN has previously toured across the country on intimate shows hosted by Sofar Sounds and performed onstage with Kelly Clarkson following his appearance on Season 14 of NBC’s “The Voice” reality singing competition.

ANNOUNCES SUMMER DRIVE-IN TOUR

PARTNERSHIP WITH BOXCAR

THE INDIE FOLK/AMERICANA SINGER-SONGWRITER

DEBUTS MUSIC VIDEO FOR HEARTFELT SINGLE

“WHAT’S IN THE CARDS”

Coinciding with the release of his heartfelt “What’s In The Cards” single and video, indie folk/Americana singer-songwriter DYLAN HARTIGAN is excited to return to the stage as he reveals the dates for “Dylan’s Drive-In Tour“–a partnership with the transportation app Boxcar which sees him perform solo acoustically each night at the pop-up event as the opening act before a movie is shown. For tickets to the in-progress dates listed below, please visit www.boxcarapp.com/movies.

DYLAN recently performed at four of Boxcar‘s recent events in New Jersey which sold out within minutes. A gallery of images from these past events can be viewed on his Instagram (@goesbydylan) HERE. DYLAN has also shared the music video for “What’s In The Cards.” Stream it below or via YouTube HERE.

This creative yet strategic pivot choreographed by DYLAN provides this indie artist with something few others have been able to figure out: a way to survive, tour and make new in-person fans during a time when there is no real template or routing for artists to follow for live performances.

“I think this inventive way of performing during the pandemic is not just a means of survival but is also an evolution forward in entertainment,” shares DYLAN. “It’s a combination of arts and feels very personal. Not only does everyone enjoy themselves during the performances but they also feel safe and not guilty while doing so. This was an idea myself and my manager had while at a drive-in theatre and it was such a light bulb moment for me. It also fuels my fire to perform live and gives me that joy back. I’ve never had playing music taken away from me so quickly and now that I figured out a way to do it (safely) I’m not gonna stop.”

“We’re excited to partner with Dylan Hartigan at our entertainment venues this summer,” says Boxcar Business Development associate Spencer Herman. “Dylan performed at our second-ever drive-in and the moment he started playing both my colleague Dan and I were blown away. From my experience previously working at CAA and Paradigm Talent Agency, I immediately saw the potential in Dylan and for this partnership.”

He continues, “Boxcar’s goal since Day 1 has been to provide the suburban community with value. When the pandemic started Joe Colangelo (our CEO), Dan & I brainstormed and felt what the suburbs needed more than anything right now is a live entertainment experience people can enjoy together while staying safe. We want to thank Dylan & his team for thinking outside the box during this unprecedented time.”

“What’s In The Cards” was recorded by Grammy-nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville alongside co-producer and rock n soul artist Maggie Rose. The track was originally premiered by Stereo Embers which noted: “There’s a touch of tension and a touch of optimism operating from different corners throughout the song and Hartigan’s delivery is filled with aching exactitude.” Look for the song to be featured on DYLAN‘s as-yet-untitled debut album this fall alongside the previously released single, “My Island,” which premiered on American Songwriter (4/2/2020) and was featured as part of Empty Space Project sessions with artists using minimal resources in at-risk or abandoned locations around local communities.

DYLAN has previously toured across the country on intimate shows hosted by Sofar Sounds and performed onstage with Kelly Clarkson following his appearance on Season 14 of NBC’s “The Voice” reality singing competition.

SHARES VULNERABLE SIDE WITH NEW SINGLE

“WHAT’S IN THE CARDS”

Indie folk/Americana singer-songwriter DYLAN HARTIGAN shares his vulnerability on new single “What’s In The Cards” as he opens with the soul-stirring lyrics, “What’s in the cards darlin’, Could it be me and you? If it’s not, then I’m caught in the cosmic slide that never wants to pull through.” The single premiered via Stereo Embers magazine yesterday (5/14) which praised it stating, “There’s a touch of tension and a touch of optimism operating from different corners throughout the song and Hartigan’s delivery is filled with aching exactitude.” “What’s In The Cards” is available today across all digital platforms, stream/download it HERE.

“‘What’s In The Cards’ is about love and how you kind of never really know how long it’s going to last,” says DYLAN. “This song is trying to figure out a basically unanswerable question.“

“What’s In The Cards” was recorded by Grammy-nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville alongside co-producer and rock n soul artist Maggie Rose. The track will be featured on DYLAN‘s upcoming yet-to-be-titled debut album due this fall alongside the previously released single, “My Island,” which premiered on American Songwriter (4/2/2020). DYLAN partnered with the Empty Space Project to record an intimate video for “My Island” as part of their series which feature artists using minimal resources in at-risk or abandoned locations around local communities. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/EzRpRzPSMbU.

DYLAN has been an entertainer since childhood, having pursued acting at an early age with supporting roles in The Stepford Wives (2004) aside Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick and the coming-of-age film Funeral Kings (2012) plus appearances on TV shows including “The Black Donnellys” (2007) and “Law & Order”(2008). With a desire to explore his passion for music, he tried out for Season 14 of NBC’s “The Voice” reality singing competition and made it all the way to live performances, earning praise from such national outlets as the Hollywood Reporter which described him as “soulful and charming [with] impressive range.”

DYLAN has previously toured across the country on intimate performances hosted by Sofar Sounds and performed onstage with “The Voice” judge Kelly Clarkson during the Allentown, PA stop of her “Meaning of Life” tour last year. Prior to coronavirus’ impact on live performances and events, DYLAN was scheduled to open for co-producer Maggie Rose and Them Vibes on a stretch of dates across the East Coast.

Indie Folk/Americana Artist DYLAN HARTIGAN Shares Debut Single “My Island”

DYLAN HARTIGAN

LAUNCHES FIRST SINGLE “MY ISLAND”

“In a time where there’s so much uncertainty going on in this world, many are turning to music to help cope. For Dylan Hartigan, he’s releasing new single ‘My Island’ for people to enjoy while also bringing the current condition of the world to light.”

-Brad Curry, American Songwriter (4/2/2020)

DYLAN HARTIGAN‘s soul-warming vocals resonate a feeling of being at one with nature and self as he shares a vulnerability in his debut single “My Island,” which is available now across all digital platforms following its premiere yesterday (April 2) via American Songwriter. The heartfelt single will be included on DYLAN‘s debut 10-track album (as-yet-untitled) due later this fall. The album was co-produced by Grammy-nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville alongside rock n soul artist Maggie Rose.

On “My Island,” DYLAN‘s distinctive Americana-inspired indie folk melodies and thought-provoking lyrics shine as he tells the story of the world as if it were a person.

“I wanted to create a song that humanizes the world by bringing awareness to the planet as a living being–by turning myself into it. It is the story of a stolen heart,” shares DYLAN. “A woman washes up on shore and comes into this man’s life and steals him away from the woman he loves. However, with her success comes the fear of the same thing happening to her. So…unfortunately, the island gets taken over.”

Listen/download “My Island” on your preferred digital platform here.

DYLAN was raised in a family of musicians that played for nothing other than the love of music. He says that “music is something my family has built happiness on. I grew up surrounded by love every second music was on.” He has been an entertainer since childhood, having pursued acting at an early age with supporting roles in The Stepford Wives (2004) aside Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick and the coming-of-age film Funeral Kings (2012) plus appearances on TV shows including “The Black Donnellys” (2007) and “Law & Order”(2008).

ANNOUNCES APRIL TOUR DATES OPENING FOR MAGGIE ROSE

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 here and head over to American Songwriter on Thursday, April 2 to hear an exclusive advance listen to the single.
