The Wallflowers assemble mini-trek
After a two-year hiatus from the road, The Wallflowers are coming out of the shadows to play a handful of intimate club shows on the East Coast next month.
The roots-rockers will start Oct. 18 in Washington, DC, and then head for Glenside, PA; Atlantic City, NJ; Somerville, MA; and New York City. Details are listed below.
Concertgoers can score a limited number of pre-sale tickets to select shows at The Wallflowers' fan-community website.
The band's fifth set, "Rebel, Sweetheart," surfaced in 2005 and reached No. 40 on The Billboard 200. Known for taking at least a couple of years between albums, the group has not yet said when it might release a follow-up.
Meanwhile, band vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Jakob Dylan recorded a few solo tracks last year, including "Stardust Universe," which was featured on an episode of CBS-TV's "Jericho," and "Whispering Pines," which is included on The Band tribute album "Endless Highway." Dylan also joined Dhani Harrison on the tune "Gimme Some Truth" for the recently released CD "Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur."
The Wallflowers broke out in 1996 with "Bringing Down the Horse," which spawned the radio hit "6th Avenue Heartache" and the Grammy-winning "One Headlight."
