About this Event
Brian Dolzani
Fairfield-native singer/songwriter Brian Dolzani celebrates his tenth album release at this special full band show on Stage One. The Endless Sky is a new collection of songs that finds Brian doing what he does best, looking in all directions: up, down, outward, and inward. You’ll hear songs about being Open to Surprise, the deeper love of Moonlit Love, and the title quote: ‘The endless sky is where I point my arrow / I wonder just how far there is to go’, from I Wonder. The Endless Sky will be released in early May.
An introverted and shy kid, a young introspective Brian met his first guitar at age fifteen when he also lost his father, and almost his mother, in a car accident. Pouring his whole being into music was the salve he needed, and Brian still retains that urgent sense of digging the deepest wells of life for songs and the will to carry on. ‘I didn’t know where I was welcome / I feared every outcome / wishing I could die / if I couldn’t run / I learned to hide myself away / and soon came the day / I was empty as a rain barrel / in the desert sun’, he sings in Who I Am. There is always hope and redemption after the pain, so Brian continues, ‘Who I am / is flesh and bone and tiny bits of stars / who I am / what I could not see / is everything that’s beautiful in me’.
Brian and his longtime band of friends (John, Bill, and George - yes, almost the Beatles) will also perform fan favorites from his recent albums such as Horse and We Are Magic as well as singles and unreleased gems. There’s also a good chance they will play a Neil Young song, as Brian is well-known for his Neil tribute project The Loner.
