ALBANY — The Wallflowers will stage a show at The Egg on May 3. 

For the past 30 years, the Jakob Dylan-led act has honed a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting modern musical attack. 

in recent years, Dylan – the Wallflowers’ founding singer, songwriter and guitarist – has stepped outside of his band, releasing a pair of acoustic and rootsy records, and collaborating with a host of artists on the 2018 film Echo in the Canyon and the accompanying soundtrack.

For the first time in nine years, the Wallflowers return with Exit Wounds, the brand-new Wallflowers studio offering. The collection marks the first new Wallflowers material since Glad All Over. 

“The Wallflowers has always been a vehicle for me to make great rock ‘n’ roll records,” Dylan said, in a statement. “And sometimes the lineup that makes the record transfers over into touring, and sometimes it doesn’t. But my intention is always to make the Wallflowers record I want to make, using the musicians I have beside me.” 

“I think everybody – no matter what side of the aisle you’re on – wherever we’re going to next, we’re all taking a lot of exit wounds with us,” Dylan said. “Nobody is the same as they were four years ago. That, to me, is what Exit Wounds signifies. And it’s not meant to be negative at all. It just means that wherever you’re headed, even if it’s to a better place, you leave people and things behind, and you think about those people and those things and you carry them with you. Those are your exit wounds. And right now, we’re all swimming in them.” 

Tickets, at $39.50-$59.50, go on sale Friday, Jan. 20 online at dspshows.com or theegg.org, by phone at 518-473-1845, and in-person at The Egg Box Office.
