Artist spotlight: Dylan D. Waltz 

Dylan D. Waltz cut his teeth as a 14-year-old roadie/guitar tech from hair metal band Vain in 1986 and hasn’t looked back since. Although, it was inevitable that he’d want his own turn being under the hot stage lights himself. He began his personal musical journey as a guitarist taking a few lessons from Vain guitarist Dylana Scott. That journey was short-lived a few hacked riffs and guitars later, he realized his true passion and talent was to pursue behind the microphone. He didn’t want to be a singer, he wanted to be the frontman, the whole package. Heavily influenced by his own vocal heroes, Dylan pulls his inspiration from David Lee Roth, Freddie Mercury, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, and many others across many genres. He currently fronts NWOBH tribute band Union Jack & The Rippers and Sacramento-based AC/DC tribute Riff/Raff full time as his bread & butter bands. You can also catch him appearing with Phil Demmel’s ultimate jam band The Merkins, the annual San Francisco Suicide Prevention/Chris Cornell Tribute benefit show hosted by Rusty Chains, annual Cliff Burton Day celebrations, or one of many other “all-star” (he hates that term) jams across the Bay Area.
