The Wallflowers

The Wallflowers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1989. The band's classic lineup includes Jakob Dylan, son of folk legend Bob Dylan, on lead vocals and guitar, Rami Jaffee on keyboards, Greg Richling on bass, Michael Ward on guitar, and Mario Calire on drums. Their music is characterized by a blend of alternative rock, roots rock, and Americana.

​

The band's debut self-titled album was released in 1992 but did not gain much commercial success. However, their 1996 follow-up album, "Bringing Down the Horse," catapulted them into the mainstream, thanks in part to the hit singles "One Headlight," "6th Avenue Heartache," "The Difference," and "Three Marlenas." "One Headlight" won two Grammy Awards, and the album's success established The Wallflowers as a prominent band of the late '90s.

​

Following the success of "Bringing Down the Horse," The Wallflowers continued to release albums, including "Breach" (2000), "Red Letter Days" (2002), and "Rebel, Sweetheart" (2005), though none matched the commercial success of their earlier work. The band went on hiatus in the late 2000s but reunited to release "Glad All Over" in 2012 and continued to tour.

​

Despite lineup changes and the challenges of evolving musical tastes, The Wallflowers have maintained a loyal fan base and continue to be recognized for their contributions to the rock genre. Jakob Dylan's thoughtful songwriting and distinctive voice, combined with the band's skilled instrumentation, have ensured The Wallflowers' lasting impact on American rock music.
