The Dream Syndicate are a guitar band whose records are built on long, distorted improvisation, and Maurer Hall is a seated room designed to make that legible rather than muddy. Steve Wynn has kept the current lineup together for most of a decade, and the later albums get as much set time as the catalogue.
What to expect
A seated show in Old Town School's main hall, extended guitar workouts, and a set drawn from both the 1980s records and the band's recent run of albums.
Good to know
- Old Town School lists the show at 8:00 PM in Maurer Hall.
- Tickets are sold through Old Town School; member pricing is typically lower than general public.
- The Lincoln Square building is a short walk from the Western Brown Line stop.
- Old Town School runs a separate Szold Hall show the following night.
- Maurer Hall is fully seated, so there is no standing floor.
Going? Keep it.
