Shane Dylan is a 23-year old piano player, composer, and producer based in Los Angeles and Boston. A collaborative artist, his music centers live instrumentation — he pairs his signature piano with parts that he composes for live bands, horns, and strings. He most recently put out his debut album, "A Star or a Lonely Dreamer,” with songs that he wrote and arranged over his college years and an array of featured vocalists. “There are moments of mediation, jubilation and desolation atop Dylan’s compositions, many of which feel meticulously snug and ponderous. Every artist offers a slice of their own life to the project, whether it be a thought, a feeling, a small anecdote — and the result is a cohesively meditative experience felt in both a live setting and through the headphones.” (Ryan Feyre / Boston Hassle)
