About this Event
STEVE WYNN (The DREAM SYNDICATE) + TBD
Come join us for an unforgettable night filled with electrifying music from STEVE WYNN of The DREAM SYNDICATE along with a special guest to be announced soon!
Steve Wynn announces his first solo record since 2010, ‘Make It Right’, released on 30th August on Fire Records and coinciding with new memoir ‘I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True’ (Jawbone Press). The album features contributions from Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Vicki Peterson (The Bangles), Chris Schlarb (Psychic Temple), Emil Nikolaisen (Serena Maneesh), Linda Pitmon (The Baseball project) and a cast of dozens. Wynn will also be touring across the UK and Europe this Autumn which promises to be a one-man show blending songs from and inspired by the book along with a narrative structure of readings and storytelling. Fans can expect a selection of evergreens and rarities from the Dream Syndicate’s catalogue along with reflective numbers from the new album as well, all adding up to a show of a past revisited.
‘I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True’ is the vivid and revealing memoir from leader and founder of one of the most revered indie-rock bands of the 1980s, The Dream Syndicate. It’s a tale of writing songs and playing in bands as a conduit to a world its author could once have barely imagined—a world of major labels, luxury tour buses, and sold-out theatres, but also one of alcohol, drugs, and a low-level rock’n’roll Babylon. Ultimately, it’s a tale of redemption, with music as a vehicle for artistic and personal transformation and transcendence.
Make It Right – Steve Wynn
I wrote and recorded these songs in tandem with working on “I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True,” my memoir which comes out on Jawbone Press the same week as “Make It Right,” my first solo album since 2010. With each chapter, I would get ideas for songs inspired by the deep dive into my past and vice versa. The reflections became intertwined after a while, a mutual commentary between literal and metaphorical ruminating.
Doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 7:00pm. See you there!
