“We were very excited to hear Dylan Menzie would be using his Christmas show to raise support for the Upper Room Hospitality Ministry,” says Tammy MacKinnon, manager of the Upper Room Soup Kitchen. “There are always many Islanders who need to access our food bank and soup kitchen so we are very thankful and grateful for Dylan’s decision to help us share the love with those who need it most.”
With a sprawling vocal range and compelling approach to composition, Menzie made an indelible mark in the talentrich Atlantic Canadian music market with his debut EP, “Heather Avenue’’ in 2013. In 2016, he was a finalist in CBC’s annual Searchlight competition on the back of his breakout single, “Kenya,” which then spent two weeks at No. 1 on CBC Radio 2’s Top 20 leading up to the release of his 2016 album “Adolescent Nature’’.
