The Wallflowers

The band's self-titled debut album was released in 1992 on the Virgin Records label. Although praised by critics, it only sold 40,000 copies intially, but has sold an estimated 600,000 to date.  The original members of the Wallflowers include vocalist and guitarist Jakob Dylan (the son of Bob Dylan), bass player and background vocalist Barrie Maguire, Peter Yanowitz on drums, Rami Jaffee on keyboards, and guitarist Tobi Miller. This quintet broke up shortly after the album's release due to conflicts within the band, and with the record company. Yanowitz went on to drum for Natalie Merchant and is currently gaining acclaim as the bassist and songwriter for Morningwood (credited as Pedro Yanowitz).

The Wallflowers' sound is influenced by a variety of groups including bands such as Counting Crows, The Band, Bruce Springsteen, The Replacements, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, and The Clash. Frontman Jakob Dylan said that the most influential album in his life is The Clash's London Calling:   See The Wallflowers LIVE!  Purchase your Wallflowers tickets today!
