The Wallflowers will headline a benefit concert for ArtsWestchester on November 12 at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester.
It has been more than ten years since fans from the New York Metro region have seen the band perform live at this historic venue, and this time their show is for a great cause.
“The Wallflowers are a legendry rock band whose poetic lyrics and captivating melodies have won loyal audiences worldwide,” said incoming ArtsWestchester CEO Kathleen Reckling. “Jakob Dylan and his Wallflowers are an iconic live act, and this concert promises to be an unforgettable evening, with all proceeds supporting ArtsWestchester’s mission to keep the arts vibrant and accessible in Westchester County.”
With more than 10-million albums sold internationally and two Grammy Awards, the band’s 30-year career includes hits from their massive 1996 album, Bringing Down the Horse, to their more recent explorations in 2021’s Exit Wounds. They are known around the world for smash hit singles “One Headlight,” “6th Avenue Heartache” and “Three Marlenas.”
