DYLAN EARL & HIS BAND W/ PEACE OF THE SEA | Lamplight Sessions | Mosinee WI

"Among the artists rising up from the fertile twang-fields of Northwest Arkansas, Dylan Earl might just make the music that goes down the smoothest…”

Born in Louisiana and naturalized by the Natural State, Dylan Earl seeks to understand himself by understanding others. His new album, ‘Level-Headed Even Smile’ (2025), charts territory into his formative years discovering Arkansas, the people who showed him the ropes and back roads; and who he hopes to become. Offering poignant nostalgia, history, and a refreshingly progressive approach to country and western music, his newest effort is rife with wry wit, irreverence, and an endearing desire to color outside the lines.

Charming and direct, he’s easy to root for, and has spent many hours behind the wheel, driving to play for you. Sharing stages with other fan favorites like Esther Rose, labelmate Nick Shoulders, Judy Blank, Willi Carlisle, Emily Nenni, and Rattlesnake Milk across the USA and the EU/UK, Earl has honed his performance and craft for nearly a decade.

Describing Earl’s catalogue as “an exploration of identity” is fitting, but it’s certainly deepened by the subtleties and clever turns of phrase across the 10 track run-time. Earl is a welcome, original voice in the scene, finding favor in mainstream and alternative spaces alike as a loveable, alt-country hippie. Travelling counter-culture and across vast expanses, not unlike the inimitable White River in Arkansas, Earl carves a path distinctly his own.
