About Wallflowers

The Wallflowers is an acclaimed American roots rock and alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1989 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jakob Dylan. Combining gritty heartland rock sensibilities with thoughtful, poetic lyricism, the band established themselves as one of the most respected rock acts of the 1990s and beyond. Their landmark 1996 multi-platinum album 'Bringing Down the Horse' became a critical and commercial triumph, earning two Grammy Awards and spawning iconic worldwide rock anthems including 'One Headlight' (named by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest pop songs of all time), '6th Avenue Heartache', 'The Difference', and 'Three Marlenas'. Subsequent records like '(Breach)' (2000), 'Glad All Over' (2012), and 'Exit Wounds' (2021) demonstrated Dylan's enduring songwriting mastery. Fronted by Dylan's smoky, evocative baritone and supported by lush Hammond organ flourishes and chiming guitar riffs, The Wallflowers have toured alongside legends such as Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen. For guitarists, The Wallflowers' songs provide essential study in classic Americana and alternative rock chord progressions, slide guitar melodies, and iconic acoustic-electric rhythm interplay.
