Dalton Domino

For Dalton Domino, music was always present. “It’s always been there,” he says. “I don’t really know anything else.” Even as a child, he heard the melodies. And the chords. But always the lyrics — the way artists of all stripes, from punk rockers to traditional country artists, could convey a simple or complex truth with a simple turn of phrase. “That’s how I fell in love with music,” the Texas-based singer-songwriter says. Creativity and an appreciation for song has been an evolution for Domino.
