Dillon Hodges translates old-time music to a new audience with his soulful voice and haunting melodies. Growing up near Muscle Shoals, Alabama, he began shaping his sound by immersing himself in bluegrass and traditional music. Considering his age, the music on commercial radio of the time, and the historical significance of soul music in the area, his musical style was unique to say the least. Hodges grew up refining his guitar skills by competing in flat-picking competitions, winning fourteen total in just four years.
As the artist evolved his playing style he started incorporating his songwriting skills to create a mix of traditional music infused into more modern songwriting styles. This combination creates a unique style of Americana that crosses mainstream at times. The wide crossover appeal of Hodges’ music has been proven as he has shared the stage with artist ranging from old-time legend Ralph Stanley to the hushed harmonies with The Civil Wars, and more amped Americana with Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit. Dillon’s master playing abilities add depth to his recordings and unforgettable energy to his live performances.
The release of Dillon’s debut full-length album, Rumspringa (May 14, 2013), will take the singer to new territory. The album will showcase his wide range of musical style and influence. The album’s first single “Bullet For A Broken Heart” has already showcased the songwriter’s ability to tell the tale of a love-gone-wrong witch-hunt. Songs such as “The Proof” and “The Garden and the Moth” feature some of Hodges’ songwriting contemporaries, Jaida Dreyer and Amber Murray (of The Bear) respectively. Rumspringa will showcase great traditional strings arrangements on tracks such as “Mother Praying” and “The Garden and the Moth” which features a mandolin orchestra. The album will put a solid foot on the ground to set the pace for this up-and-coming talent’s march forward into a promising artistic future.
Currently, Dillon resides in Nashville where this singer-songwriter feels at home amongst the numerous singer-songwriters and great musicians that surround him.
