The Sweetness of Gone is a trio of singer-songwriters based in Madison, WI, whose music explores the subtle complexities found in the human experience. With a focus on thoughtful lyrics, they blend strong vocal harmonies with the distinct sounds of guitar, banjo, autoharp, Appalachian dulcimer, and a variety of percussive elements. Their self-titled EP--recorded in the shadow of the smokestacks off of South Livingston Street--reveals those intangible elements that set them apart, as well as what each individual brings to the group. grey e.m. doolin weaves evocative guitar work in with her lyrics, d. allen\'s banjo playing is the perfect accompaniment to her unique voice, and Stacie M. Wieland\'s harmonies are as sweet as her instrumental versatility.Boob Dylan is a meeting of musical minds, melding inspirations, making merry, and being booby.

Just some Madison neighbors networking to make noisy noises in a free moment here or there between school, research, and work. Boob Dylan will play you a varied spread of folksy tunes with hints of bluegrass, alt-country, pop sensibility, and a heaping tablespoon of whimsy.

Boob Dylan\'s passion is driven by Lauren, Ginny, and Allison\'s love of music and having a good time. They hope ya\'ll can join us in the making of merry at the next show!
