King Dream Live in Joshua Tree

King Dream is an L.A.-based rock ‘n’ roll project helmed by Oakland native Jeremy Lyon, a lifelong songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, engineer and producer who crafts dive bar anthems with heart, brains and soul. Hard-rocking yet poignant, his music combines a love for American rock masters like Springsteen and Petty with ‘60s West Coast psychedelia and more contemporary torch-bearers like My Morning Jacket and The War on Drugs — all brought to life by a rotating cast of California’s most in-demand players.

Lyon has played in bands since his teens. He’s done Outside Lands and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, toured nationally and internationally, and also knows what it’s like to busk on the street. You can hear all of this in King Dream songs: Balancing hope and world-weariness, they seem wise beyond their years, and they also have a way of sneaking up on you. You know the giddy, ragged vulnerability that arrives when you’ve been awake for way too long on a road trip? Between the good times and the clinks of beer bottles, these songs inspire a wistfulness, deep in your bones, for a place you’ve never been.
