The Baseball Project Feat. members of R.E.M. and The Dream Syndicate

About This Event

Formed in 2007 by Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, The Minus 5, R.E.M.) and Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3, Gutterball), The Baseball Project began as a way for a couple of fans to pay musical tribute to our national pastime, and maybe score some free baseball tickets in the process. But The Baseball Project has since blossomed into a fullfledged, much loved band in its own right, one which currently includes drummer Linda Pitmon (Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3, Zuzus Petals) and R.E.M.s Peter Buck and Mike Mills on its official roster, and one whose following and creativity has steadily grown with each release and tour. Along with 17 ace new songs about baseball, 3rd also showcases the bands musical muscle in ways that 2008s Volume 1: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails and 2011s Volume 2: High and Inside only hinted at.
