Doyle Dykes LIVE at the Medallion

GORHAM – Doyle Dykes, one of the world’s best finger-style guitarists, will perform
live on Friday, November 21st at 7:00 pm at the Medallion Opera House, 20 Park Street,
Gorham Town Hall. Tickets are $25 and are available online in advance (plus a small
processing fee), or tickets can be purchased at the door for $30. The concert is
sponsored by The Randolph Foundation.
Although influenced by a wide variety of musical styles and musicians from the country
of Chet Atkins to the rock and roll of Duane Eddy and the Beatles, Doyle has developed
a distinct, recognizable sound that amazes audiences with skill while capturing hearts
with sincerity and soul.
Doyle’s appreciation for various styles of music is reflected in his albums as they
include signature compositions like “Jazz in the Box” and “Martha’s Kitchen” and hymns
like the powerful “How Great Thou Art.” “Gitarre 2000″ was released by Windham Hill
Records, and Doyle’s music has appeared on several of the label’s compilation albums
like “Here, There, and Everywhere” (a tribute to the Beatles). In addition, Doyle’s music
has been heard on United Airlines, Air Canada, NPR’s Morning News and All Things
Considered, Disney’s California Adventure, and even the Space Shuttle Atlantis in
September 2000.
Doyle’s early years as a guitarist took him around the world as he toured with The
Stamps Quartet and later with Grand Ole Opry Star, Grandpa Jones. Doyle has since
returned to the Grand Ole Opry for numerous performances; many appearing live on
national television.
Doyle performs in venues ranging from Theatres, Bluegrass festivals, and churches, to
major Conventions, such as the NAMM Show (Anaheim, CA and Nashville, TN), the
Musikmesse (largest music trade show in the world; Frankfurt, Germany), Music Live
(UK), and the National Executive Institute, which is made up of honored FBI Agents,
major city Police Chiefs, and Law Enforcement Officers from around the world.
Internationally, Doyle attracts record audiences in many Continents around the world.
Whether to a guitar player or music enthusiast, Doyle’s music will make a lasting
impression on anyone given the opportunity to listen.
“Doyle’s clever use of dynamics, the warm tone he achieves with an acoustic guitar and
his exceptional skill with the instrument is wonderful to hear…He is one of the most
fantastic players I have heard in years.” Duane Eddy

“Doyle Dykes is one of the most convincing cross-genre finger stylists today. He
successfully metes out Jazz, Latin, Gospel, Hawaiian, and Country arrangements from
his nylon and steel-string guitars with equal grace and aplomb. But grace is only one
facet of Doyle’s talents. He also brings an incredible virility and indefatigable fire to his
music, which makes listening to his arrangements an exhausting but satisfying
experience.” Jon Chappell, Editor-in-Chief, Guitar Magazine
Medallion Opera House Gift Certificates will be available for purchase at the concert.
