STEVE WYNN - FREE INSTORE

STEVE WYNN - Wednesday, March 8th - 7:00pm

If this is your introduction to the music of Steve Wynn, you have a lot of catching up to do. In 16 years Wynn has released 20 albums and has seen over 200 of his songs recorded. He has played over 1000 shows in more than 25 countries, and his songs have been recorded and/or performed by, among others, REM, Luna, Concrete Blonde, The Black Crowes, and Yo La Tengo; He has been prominently featured in Rolling Stone, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, People, The Los Angeles Times, New York Times and countless other publications all over the world... and now he is playing here, on our humble little stage.

You may know Wynn from his groundbreaking work with The Dream Syndicate, a band that--along with REM and the Replacements--practically invented the American indie rock scene of the 1980s, or from his critically acclaimed solo albums of the 1990s, which were fixtures on many Modern Rock radio stations across the country, or from his highly touted side-project Gutterball which by its fifth gig found itself on a national tour with The Black Crowes.
Dream Syndicate's first full-length album, Days of Wine and Roses, has been called, by fans and critics alike, one of the best and most important rock albums of all time. Their second album, Medicine Show, was called one of the 40 best rock albums of all time by the London Guardian. Steve's solo work has featured contributions from members of REM, Concrete Blonde, and the Bangles.

Steve Wynn is one of the most adventurous, accomplished and exciting songwriters of the last few decades and if he is still news to you, stop in for this free performance and see what you've been missing for the past 20 years.

What the press has to say:

"Perhaps it's Wynn's irrepressibly human voice or maybe the clever phrases that stick in your head and refuse to leave...regardless of the manner, there's simply no denying that these songs work."
-- Album Network

"One of the most original literary performers in American rock."
--St.Louis Post Dispatch

"Songwriting focused with uncommon precission."
