To anyone who’s caught Ty Dillon and his band live on stage before, the members of Six Echo might look familiar.  That’s because they are, in fact, the same group of musicians.  As Ty and the gang have augmented and enhanced their performance over the years, many ideas of many differing genres have entered the mix. To house the ideas that have been in stark contrast with Dillon’s chiefly country sound, the band developed an alter-ego: Six Echo.

The project is the brainchild of multiple creators. One notable figure is Garrett Loggins, the oft-seen guitarist and producer of some previous Ty Dillon releases. Loggins has contributed much of the writing, stemming from his roots that include 90’s alt-rock, pop-punk, and jangle-pop. The collaborative writing/producing efforts of Loggins & Dillon yielded Six Echo’s first full-length album, “Summer’s Touch & Winter’s Hold,” released independently in late 2021.

On stage, Six Echo has also proven itself to be a wildly different animal than that of the Ty Dillon show.  The shows include a more youthful energy, with Dillon & Loggins sharing the singing duties. Some of Six Echo’s shows have been devoted entirely to a theme, such as pop-punk emo nights. These shows revering bygone eras of music have had crowds of hundreds jumping and singing along to many familiar tunes.

As of this moment, Six Echo refuses to definitively classify itself by genre or direction. The shows keep getting wilder, and the original material is still flowing and being recorded as we speak. Though created just to be a creative outlet, the project has already amassed a devoted following among listeners and attendees, with many latching onto the band’s sincere lyrics, eclectic styles, and exhilarating performances.
