Thank you OOR for this Steve Wynn preview of his upcoming date in The Hague, Netherlands at Paardcafe, Den Haag

As frontman of Paisley Underground figureheads The Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn wrote American indie rock history in the eighties. This was followed by a very productive solo career, although he always remained a true cult hero. The man has been through a lot and recently released his autobiography: I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True. It is accompanied by his new album Make It Right, on which he also looks back on his life. There will certainly be some juicy stories during this acoustic solo show, because the man is also a natural storyteller.

Als frontman van Paisley Underground-boegbeelden The Dream Syndicate schreef Steve Wynn Amerikaanse indierockgeschiedenis in de jaren tachtig. Daarna volgde een zeer productieve solocarrière, al bleef hij altijd een echte cultheld. De man heeft veel meegemaakt en bracht onlangs zijn autobiografie u...
