The Polyphonic Spree
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The phoenix symbolizes a new beginning. The fire burns off the last vestiges of the past as the bird spreads its wings and takes flight into the future. The Polyphonic Spree harnesses the flames of rebirth on their 2023 full-length offering, Salvage Enterprise. Led by frontman, founder, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visionary Tim DeLaughter, the group embarks on their next season. They’re reverent of their history, yet they’re also ready for an even brighter tomorrow.
The Polyphonic Spree was born out of similar circumstances back in 2000. Following a period of heartbreak, confusion, and uncertainty as his original band, Tripping Daisy, fell apart, Tim started over again. Accompanied by 23 other collaborators, draped in robes, and drunk on the natural exuberance of a new chapter, he introduced The Polyphonic Spree with the now-classic 2002 debut, The Beginning Stages of… The signature “Light and Day/Reach for the Sun” surged through popular culture for two decades, appearing everywhere from the Academy Award-winning 2004 classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to a 2017 episode of Girlboss. It would even be performed on-screen in Wonder and serve as the theme song for Dr Seuss’s The Lorax. Delivering rapturous live experiences at countless festivals and on numerous late-night television shows, they graced the stage at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. They opened an entire tour for the late David Bowie. Beyond Tim scoring Thumbsucker by filmmaker Mike Mills, the band contributed a cover of Nirvana’s “Lithium” to the Academy Award-winning The Big Short. Along the way, they entranced listeners with the likes of Together We’re Heavy [2004], The Fragile Army [2007], Yes It’s True [2013], and Psychphonic[2014]. After the 2021 covers LP Afflatus, Dallas Morning News proclaimed, “The Spree Remains one of the more beloved names in the Texas rock landscape.” Without question, The Polyphonic Spree has quietly made an indelible impact on culture since the turn of the century. Their music has found its way to listeners everywhere, either on the radio, in books, movies, fashion, or even through comedians. As the years pass, this impact has only magnified.
