Wyckoff's Dylan Hartigan Hosting Fundraiser For Debut Album

WYCKOFF, NJ — Dylan Hartigan is hosting a fundraiser Friday to help produce his debut album.

Hartigan is a town native and Ramapo High School alumnus. He appeared on NBC's "The Voice" last year.

Hartigan will host and perform at a fundraiser to help fund the production of his debut album. More than $4,000 has been donated to Hartigan to help fund the endeavor. He hopes to raise $30,000 to fund the album's creation.

The fundraiser will be at The Brick House, 179 Godwin Ave., from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Hartigan wants his music to arouse genuine emotion in its listeners.

"I really just want people to feel," Haritgan said on a fundraising campaign he created to help fund the album's creation. "I want them to sit down, close their eyes and understand the world and themselves in a new way when they're done listening to this album. I want it to create some peace for a lot of people."

Hartigan had an up-and-down run on "The Voice." He was originally chosen by Kelly Clarkson, but lost in a knockout episode. Blake Shelton stole him as he walked off the stage. Shelton then chose singer Wilkes over Hartigan in the next episode, but Clarkson saved him, and he performed the next week, but got knocked off the show.

The Township Committee declared the first week of May last year, Dylan Hartigan Week.
