After four years at Northwestern University studying dead poets, Salt Lake City, Utah-native Dylan Rice transplanted to Chicago 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 and Morrissey. Now, he's primed to make a splash on the national music scene with the inclusion of his "The Lie" on TWIST's Revolutions, and the forthcoming release of his debut CD, Wandering Eyes (recorded by former Acme engineer Blaise Barton, of Liz Phair/Bob Dylan fame).
Dylan has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Magazine, Time Out Chicago, Out, Genre and Gay.com; has received airplay on Sirius and XM satellite radio, Newsweek.com, AOL Radio and UPN TV; as well as in commercial radio markets in New York (WPLJ), Chicago (93 XRT, WCKG), Los Angeles (Star 98.7), San Francisco (Alice 97.3), Atlanta (Q100.5), Washington D.C. (Hot 99.5), Seattle (Kiss 106.1), and Houston (Mix 96.5), among others.
While his "Wandering Eyes" received the 2005 OUT Music Award for "Best Debut Recording" and was voted one of the "Top 10 Indie CDs of 2005" by Advocate magazine, Dylan continues to build a grassroots following with his full-band and solo appearances around the country. His current live project includes Dave Mendez on guitar, Jamie Martinez on bass, and Larry Brown on drums.
In July 2006, Dylan performed his stadium-rock anthem "The Faces of Victory" for 20,000 people at the Gay Games closing ceremonies at Wrigley Field in Chicago, joined onstage by Styx bassist Chuck Panozzo, and backed by a chorus of Chicago LGBT rockers. Written especially for the Gay Games, the song was also recorded in the studio with Panozzo, released as an internet-exclusive single, and was highlighted in the official Gay Games VII commemorative DVD in December 2006.
