Details:
"[Rice's] singing is well-showcased on his debut album, 'Wandering Eyes'...the album is both coy and confessional, with the tracks balanced by a sense of humor."
-- Chicago Tribune

"Dylan Rice's debut effort is pure attitude. There's something infectious about this man and this music."
-- Styx's Chuck Panozzo

"Dylan Rice has got that exposed emotional core to his voice...and his latest songs that are currently being recorded are very fine. I'm not much for giving previews to forthcoming albums, but this was too good to pass up." -- Richard Milne, 93 XRT Chicago

After four years at Northwestern University studying dead poets, Utah-native Dylan Rice transplanted to Chicago in 1998 to take in some big city grit and try his hand at being a rock-n-roller. Since then, he has captivated Chicago audiences with his sultry vocals, driving guitar rhythms, and bittersweet balladry, drawing comparisons to Chris Isaak, Jeff Buckley, and Morrissey. Now he's primed to make a splash on the national music scene with the release of his debut CD, WANDERING EYES on Deep Tissue Records--recorded by former Acme engineer Blaise Barton (Liz Phair, Bob Dylan).

Dylan has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Magazine, Time Out Chicago, and has received radio play on SIRIUS, 93 XRT, 94.7 The Zone, WGN Radio, WCKG-FM, and WLUW. He continues to build a grassroots following with his acoustic and full-band appearances at Chicago-area festivals and venues such as Taste of Chicago, Northalsted Market Days, Schubas, Martyrs, Old Town School, Abbey Pub, and Bottom Lounge. His current live project, DYLAN RICE AND THE DYNASTIES, features guitarist Dave Mendez, bassist Josh Cary, and drummer Jon Van Bladel.
