The City's Backyard Ep 222 BRIAN DOLZANI as The LONER: The Music of Neil Young. This Connecticut-based troubadour brings everything you want and need from Neil’s music to an intimate club experience!

from The City's Backyard · host Matt Zako

Brian Dolzani is a contemporary singer/songwriter that possesses an old soul. A listen to his music makes that point abundantly clear.  So too, the fact that he lists any number of ‘60s and ‘70s songwriters as prime influences — Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Crosby, Stills and Nash, to Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Credence Clearwater Revival, among them — suggests that his roots reside in a great storytelling tradition. Like his forebears, Brian is all about to creating a connection to his audiences through the expression of innermost emotion. In the process, he shares a sound that’s vibrant, engaging and enticing, and, like his heroes, flush with both meaning and magic. It’s little wonder then that his work has been described as “musical medicine for the soul” by the Lonesome Noise blog, or that the Americana bible No Depression one declared “Dolzani’s melancholy musings are remarkably affecting,” while also praising his melodies as “eternally engaging, and, on more than one occasion, even soothing and seductive.” “For me, writing songs is something that’s very personal,” Brian himself says. “Over the years, I’ve come to discover myself through making music.” https://www.briandolzani.com/homeFor tickets to see him at FTC click link below:https://fairfieldtheatre.org/events/stageone/brian-dolzani-as-the-loner_e659
