He is a self-taught musician on several instruments with a particular knack for capturing the voices and mannerisms of classic characters from mu- sic, TV, and movies. His first professional gigs were at piano bars in several US cities, where he learned to charm audiences and expand his musical repertoire. With a desire to perform the music of the many rock bands that inspired him, Dolyniuk assembled the band Yellow Brick Road, a classic rock band that found great suc- cess in Las Vegas. Since 1997, Yellow Brick Road has been reshaping the casino entertainment scene by bringing a rock concert atmosphere to showrooms previously reserved for Top-40- style lounge acts. Along the way, Dolyniuk has made numerous radio and TV appearances and earned a finals berth in two national sing- ing competitions, also self-producing several arena-rock–style shows utilizing multimedia, lasers, comedy, and special effects. In 2007, he lent his vocal talents to screens around the world by singing several tracks on the mega-hit vid- eo game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock , later teaming up with Konami to voice several more songs for its 2008 game Rock Revolution . Do- lyniuk joined Windborne Music in 2009 initial- ly as the vocalist for its Music of Queen show, but he has proven to have the versatility to carry lead vocals on shows saluting the music of the Rolling Stones, The Who, U2, Journey, and El- ton John—and is also versed in the company’s productions of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd music, among other shows, as the backup lead singer. As a devout classic rock fan, Dolyniuk and his enthusiasm, vocal ability, and onstage energy are the perfect fit for Windborne Music’s rock-symphony shows, and he continues to win over audiences around the globe. Brody Dolyni- uk is making his Ravinia debut. JULY 1 – JULY 7, 2019 | RAVINIA MAGAZINE 95
