After The Wallflowers ended their recording contract in 2005, fans everywhere wondered if the Wallflowers tickets would ever be available again. Not only do the Wallflowers continue to tour, but just after the end of the contract Jakob Dylan—lead singer for the Wallflowers—started a solo career.

After releasing his first album, “Seeing Things,” in 2008, Dylan toured extensively with his touring band The Gold Mountain Rebels, appearing everywhere from Bonnaroo to the Late Show With David Letterman.

Now, Dylan is gearing up to release his second solo album, “Women and Country,” on April 6. “I knew going into this record that I wanted to hear something full and vibrant.I wanted horns and fiddle, for it to be as big and beautiful sounding as it could with instrumentation. That changes the lyrics and tone of what you’re writing,” Dylan said.

Three days after the release of his second studio album, Dylan will begin touring with supporting act Three Legs featuring Neko Case and Kelly Hogan.

The Wallflowers are traveling the country this summer, though there is no new music for the band on the horizon.

The group kicked things off in late June, and are traveling through the East Coast currently - they will finish up with some shows in the Midwest, including the last stop in Stillwater, Minn., on July 25th.

Jakob Dylan & Co.’s most recent effort was Rebel, Sweetheart, released in 2005. They haven’t mentioned when a follow-up can be expected - which is typical, as the band takes its time between releases.

Dylan released his solo debut, Seeing Things, last summer. It included primarily acoustic tracks, and was produced by music legend Rick Rubin.
