Thomas Dolby

The Iconic ‘80s Recollections Tour

In the early '80s, Thomas Dolby  burst onto the pop music scene with his worldwide hit, She Blinded Me With Science.  The song hailed from his debut album , The Golden Age of Wireless, and not only was it both musically and lyrically a brilliant pop song, the entire album was a masterful orchestration of synth programming that resulted in layered, lush soundscapes.  Dolby masterfully shifted synth-pop from cold, mechanical textures to a warm, emotional, and highly narrative form, blending pioneering studio production with retro-futurist themes. 

On this new episode of Inside MusiCast, we chat with Dolby not only about his '80s album successes, but we'll discuss his thoughts about AI and its use in the music industry, his role as the creator and Director of the Music for New Media program at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, as well as his upcoming tours, including his Iconic ‘80s Recollections tour in the US and the UK, his Totally Tubular Festival that will feature his band The Lost Toy People and several other iconic '80s artists, as well as a surprise announcement about a future tour he's developing.  

We're truly honored to welcome one of the most innovative musicians and technologists over the past 40+ years, Thomas Dolby.
