Red Velvet Media ®

Don DiLego has managed to carve out a sound that is at once both nostalgic in it’s Americana leanings and modern in it’s approach to creating a sonic landscape. Ripe with reverb, detuned guitars, banjo, and pedal steel, DiLego’s most recent recordings seem to fully realize what he began exploring on his first release, The Lonestar Hitchhiker, in 2001.The follow-up record, The Lonestar Companion, was released after his release from Universal, to which Rollingstone.com called him “Alt-country’s next poster boy.” His 3rd release, Photographs of 1971, saw him move towards that sound of combining his penchant for the sounds of country with the lyrical and melodic hooks of his pop heroes. Following that album’s release in 2006, Don’s focus moved to production, as he had been building a studio outside his hometown of NYC. He began work on a record with Bree Sharp, and released two albums as the electro-twang duo Beautiful Small Machines, which became renown for their banjo-laden cover of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes.” DiLego also began an ongoing partnership with Jesse Malin (D Generation), and went on to co-write, produce, and play on three of Malin’sreleases, up to the most recent, “New York Before the War” and “Outsiders.” DiLego would continue to tour with Malin both in his band, and as a performer, honing the songs that he would eventually come back to for hisrecent release.?In the spring of 2016, DiLego announced his latest solo release, Magnificent Ram A, and a subsequent signing to One Little Indian.DiLego released Magnificent Ram A in July 2016, and is set to tour much of the U.S. and Europe with his band The Touristas.
