THE WALLFLOWERS
For the past 30 years, this Jakob Dylan-led act has stood as one of rock’s most dynamic and purposeful bands—a unit dedicated to and continually honing a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack.
That signature style has been present through the decades, baked into the grooves of smash hits like 1996’s Bringing Down the Horse as well as more recent and exploratory fare like 2012’s Glad All Over.
But while it’s been nine long years since we’ve heard from the group with whom he first made his mark, The Wallflowers are silent no more. And Jakob Dylan always knew they’d return, claiming The Wallflowers is much of his life’s work.
Plus, he adds with a laugh, “It’s pretty hard to get a good band name, so if you have one, keep it.”
