Dylan Hennessy is a Toronto-based artist whose obsession with a broad range of music has led him down a one-man prog band rabbit hole, accompanied by a whirlwind of imaginative sounds, looping stations and hard-hitting live drums. As a graduate of Seneca College’s “Independent Music Production” program, he is a versatile musician, spanning an array of instruments in a variety of genres, with his show focused on original looping arrangements done heavier than you might expect.

Since 2017, Dylan’s live abilities have lead him to open for Finger Eleven, I Mother Earth, MONOWHALES, taken him to some of Toronto’s most recognizable stages (Yonge-Dundas Square, MOD Club, The Phoenix, Horseshoe Tavern), countless independently organized showcases and festival performances, won him a flight to Israel, landed him a five show run in Manchester for Indie Week Europe, and have taken him all the way to a 3rd place finish at the Indie Week Canada 2018 Finals out of over 200 artists.

Dylan incorporates a wide array of tones and effects, and as much influence from as many styles as he can into his own creations. He tries to “make a guitar and vocals sound like as many things as possible”. With elements of rock, folk, metal, EDM, and sometimes highly technical and unconventional guitar playing, Dylan is truly an eccentric power force. When not on stage, you can find Dylan working at Long & McQuade. He’s constantly gigging in clubs, busking downtown, playing acoustically with his dad in "2 Shots Of Hennessy" and supporting his local music scene as much as he can. You can find frequently updated material on his Facebook and YouTube pages.
