The Wallflowers

The Wallflowers is an American rock solo project of American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Dylan. The Wallflowers were originally a roots rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1989 by Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller. The band has gone through a number of personnel changes but has remained centered on Dylan.Following their eponymous debut album in 1992, the Wallflowers released what would become their best-known and highest-selling album, Bringing Down the Horse (1996), which included the U.S. radio hit “One Headlight,” as well as “6th Avenue Heartache,” “The Difference,” and “Three Marlenas.” Their next album, (Breach) (2000), contained “Sleepwalker,” their only single to chart the Billboard Hot 100 at number 76 (previous singles did not chart due to Billboard rules at the time). The group released an additional two critically acclaimed albums before going on hiatus. In 2012, the Wallflowers reunited to release their sixth studio album, Glad All Over. Nearly ten years later they released their seventh studio album, Exit Wounds (2021), which charted at number 3 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales. Lyrically, the band focuses on Dylan’s introspection, exploring themes of nostalgia, heartache, anxiety, purpose and insecurities.The Wallflowers have sold over ten million albums internationally and have won two Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for “One Headlight” in 1998. “One Headlight” is also listed at #58 in Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs. The Wallflowers have been nominated six times for “Best Rock Song” and “Best Rock Performance.” Billboard named “One Headlight” as the #1 Greatest of All Time Adult Alternative Song, and “Sixth Avenue Heartache” as the #37 Greatest of All Time Adult Alternative Song. The band has fifteen songs that have reached the ‘Top 10’ on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay list. Members of The Wallflowers have gone on to be in the Foo Fighters, Ozomatli, and Gogol Bordello; two former members have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
