Drawing comparisons to the likes of Wilco, Beck, Ryan Adams, and even the Beach
Boys, Don DiLego continues to develop as an artist who refuses to be categorized.
His new album "Photographs of 1971" is a testament to that ongoing battle.
Don's first release, "The Lonestar Hitchhiker," was recorded for Universal
Records shortly after his move to New York City. Featured musicians included Jay
Bennett (ex–Wilco), Gregg Williams (Sheryl Crow, Wallflowers), and Paul Garisto
(Jesse Malin, Ryan Adams). Since then, he has toured extensively in support of all
three of his releases, building a loyal fan base and national recognition as a touring
artist.
Along the way, he has opened for the likes of Norah Jones, Graham Parker, Sheryl
Crow, Duran Duran, Roger Clyne, Bree Sharp, Jeffrey Gaines, Shannon McNally, and
many more. His songs have been impressively featured in film and TV (MTV, VH1, Disney,
Discovery, E!) and "Photographs" has recently been added to regular rotation
on the increasingly popular XM Satellite Radio. Hear Music selected Don for their
"Emerging Artist" campaign for his first album, and his follow–up,
"The Lonestar Companion," prompted Rolling Stone to state that, "New
York City's emerging folk–twang songsmith, Don DiLego, is alt–country's
next poster boy."
