The Dream Syndicate and John Cowsill

John Cowsill, born into The Cowsills family band, gained fame in the '60s with hits like “Hair” and worked with Tommy Tutone, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and more.

The Dream Syndicate, a key band from L.A.'s Paisley Underground scene, fused Bob Dylan's wordplay and Velvet Underground's dark guitar sound. Formed by Steve Wynn, they became known for albums like "The Days of Wine and Roses" and "Medicine Show." Collaborating with artists like Kendra Smith and Chris Cacavas, they explored rock, psychedelia, and ambient styles. Known for hits like "That's What You Always Say," they toured worldwide and influenced the indie music scene. They reunited in 2012 and released critically acclaimed projects such as "How Did I Find Myself Here?" and "Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions."
