Dylan Salfer is a musician based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Blues, funk, R&B, folk, as long as it’s got soul it’s in there!
Dylan started playing guitar at 9 years old and by age 13 he was playing professionally, gigging locally in the twin cities as well as traveling all over the United States playing festivals. In his early/late teens he was noticed and brought under the wing of many of the last living legends in blues music. At age 14 he was playing with Legendary Chicago blues man James Cotton. Dylan has also played with Buddy Guy on several occasions, shared stages and bills with Mavis Staples, Kingfish Ingram, Marcus King and many more.
Coming into his last year of high school, Dylan also started touring all over the world with Bernard Allison, and playing with Bobby Whitlock (of Derek & the Dominoes, Delaney & Bonnie and friends, George Harrison). He’s also played on many records, including every track on Bernard Allison’s latest record “Songs From the Road” featuring the legendary Grammy winning artist Bobby Rush. This record was #1 Billboard Blues and Rock charters for over two weeks in a row!
Now in his early 20s Dylan is writing original music and making a name for himself as a solo artist. People often describe his sound as “seasoned and soulful” which he says is due to all of the traveling and wonderful opportunities to play with such amazing musicians growing up. You can catch the Dylan Salfer Band every Wednesday at Bunkers in Minneapolis. Stay tuned while he debuts into a promising solo career!
