THE WALLFLOWERS with special guest BROTHER ELSEY
THE WALLFLOWERS with special guest BROTHER ELSEY
Rock ‘n’ roll is often hard to define… but you know it when you hear it. For the past 30 years, this Jakob Dylan-led act has stood as one of rock’s most dynamic and purposeful bands—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 for decades and will once again be heard on the historic Strand Theatre stage.
Americana, folk, and rock band Brother Elsey will open the show.
More about THE WALLFLOWERS
A band whose sound walked a tightrope between the rootsy and accessible end of alternative rock and the straightforward, arena-friendly sound of acts like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, The Wallflowers were the brainchild of guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Jakob Dylan. While he was initially best known for being the son of iconic singer/songwriter Bob Dylan, The Wallflowers made it clear that he had a sound and creative voice all his own, and he proved to be a strong bandleader who was capable of keeping the group’s personality consistent despite frequent personnel changes through their history. The Wallflowers broke through with their sophomore album, 1996’s multi-platinum Bringing Down the Horse, while 2005’s Rebel, Sweetheart saw them adding extra muscle to their sound, and 2021’s Exit Wounds was a confident comeback effort released after a nine-year hiatus from the studio.
