Hey, how 'bout that year?

After the relative dormancy of the bulk of 2020 and 2021, it was nice to be back on the road playing shows in the US and Europe with The Dream Syndicate, dropping into various living rooms and folk clubs with my acoustic guitar and, for the first time in almost a decade, stepping into a recording studio with The Baseball Project. It's hard to say what "normal" is anymore but the last year felt close enough for creative comfort...

Tours!

It's wild whiplash month of touring ahead for me, barnstorming house concert folksinger action quickly morphing into get-in-the-van rock band touring with the Dream Syndicate. I'm looking at my living room right now-acoustic guitar in one corner and Fender Jazzmaster and noisy stomp pedals just a few feet away, both waiting their turn to shine, softly and loudly in consecutive weeks.

Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions

Very excited to announce our new album 'Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions' set for release on 10th June, with new track 'Where I'll Stand' out today. Listen/Watch/Pre-Order here
The brand-new album from The Dream Syndicate blends vintage Krautrock, Eno-like ambience, Neu-inspired rhythmic groove and a Californian sun baked sheen into their classic psychedelic, melodic, hue.
The Dream Syndicate have moved well past their early Velvet Underground influences and taken on British glam, German prog, and more. "Clever, ambitious, and blessedly noisy." AllMusic
Featuring singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Wynn, drummer Dennis Duck, bassist Mark Walton, lead guitarist Jason Victor plus their newest member Chris Cacavas on keyboards, plus guest appearances from Stephen McCarthy (of The Long Ryders) and Marcus Tenney's expressive sax and trumpet work.

Wild Voodoo Magic

We laid low for the summer but we're back and ready for more! It's time for me, Dennis, Jason, Mark and Chris to get back in the van and take our wild voodoo magic sonically explosive medicine show back onto the road.
We begin in two classic rock and roll cities--Detroit (Rock City) and Cleveland (Rocks)-this weekend, take a short breather and then on to Europe to bring "These Times" across the Atlantic. The shows in the US and Italy last May and June were some of our most exploratory and felt almost like gigs we might have played back in 1982, fortified by all the things we've learned since.
Check the dates on the groovy tour poster-another classic design by Misisipi Mike Wolf--and hopefully we're coming to a city with you. If not, rest assured there's more ahead in 2020 including a new album. Yep. But more about that later. For now? Check the cables, change the strings, gather your sticks and picks--The Dream Syndicate is back on the road!

Dream Syndicate’s Steve Wynn makes good in Norway
You’ve been spending a lot of time in Oslo. How did you get associated with “Dag”? “Dag” is a dark comedy about a misanthropic couples counselor who is well-curated in impeccable music taste.

Steve Wynn is bringing the Dream Syndicate back at a time when the band's primary inspiration is being eulogized. "When Lou Reed died (on Oct. 27), I was depressed and stunned," Wynn says.

For the rockers of the Baseball Project, it's all about the game
There is, they say, nothing more terrifying to a writer than the blank page. Steve Wynn knows this, and the solo artist and onetime frontman for semi-legendary 1980s jangle-poppers the Dream Syndicate appreciates how easy he's got it with the Baseball Project."It's a great band to write for because everything is very definable," says Wynn.

Rumpled old set lists, handwritten in ballpoint pen, are the true collector's items; the neat printouts in big BLOCK LETTERS can come from anywhere. But people scoop them up after gigs, all the same. And to anyone privileged enough to stand by the foot of the stage before the show starts, printed set lists are a double-edged sword: Sure, youmoreposted: 2012-07-01

- Sorry I ever doubted you, Steve.
