About this show

Benmont Tench plays Old Town School of Folk Music, a 425-capacity theater in Lincoln Square, on Wednesday, November 18. The show starts at 8 PM. Tickets are $11 to $56 plus fees.

The title song on Benmont Tench's new album, The Melancholy Season - his second solo record after four decades at the keyboards in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - began as a poem, inspired by the autumn chill of a Southern California evening under the constellation Orion. "We put a lot of thought into this record," Tench says, but he gratefully credits the help that came along the way. Jackson Browne "was really gracious with his studio," Groove Masters, where the album was mixed. It was Glyn Johns' idea to start “I Will Not Follow You Down” with nothing but a beat on a drum after Tench performed the song for him a few years ago.
