Fri Jan 31st, 8:00 pm

Steve Wynn announces his first solo record since 2010, ‘Make It Right’, released on 30th August on Fire Records and
coinciding with new memoir ‘I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True’ (Jawbone Press). The album features contributions from
Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Vicki Peterson (The Bangles), Chris Schlarb (Psychic Temple), Emil Nikolaisen (Serena Maneesh),
Linda Pitmon (The Baseball project) and a cast of dozens. Wynn will also be touring across the UK and Europe this
Autumn which promises to be a one-man show blending songs from and inspired by the book along with a narrative
structure of readings and storytelling. Fans can expect a selection of evergreens and rarities from the Dream
Syndicate’s catalogue along with reflective numbers from the new album as well, all adding up to a show of a past
revisited.

‘I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True’ is the vivid and revealing memoir from leader and founder of one of the most revered
indie-rock bands of the 1980s, The Dream Syndicate. It’s a tale of writing songs and playing in bands as a conduit to a world
its author could once have barely imagined—a world of major labels, luxury tour buses, and sold-out theatres, but also one
of alcohol, drugs, and a low-level rock’n’roll Babylon. Ultimately, it’s a tale of redemption, with music as a vehicle for artistic
and personal transformation and transcendence.
