Chris Dwan and Will Van Dyke aim to strike a balance of 'tongue-in-cheek optimism' and 'pound-the-pavement angst' on their latest single and video.
.” From there, Van Dyke said he and Dwan “never stopped writing,” and some half-dozen songs later, the idea of Stereo Dawn ― a band meant to evoke nostalgia for the ’90s and early 2000s while still sounding current ― was born.
“On stage there’s a kind of safety net because you know what’s coming next, but in the studio, we are fully driving the Stereo Dawn ship,” Dwan said. “That brings a freedom you can’t always experience in theater.” The project has been especially gratifying for Van Dyke. He is best known for having worked on the Broadway smash “” as a music director, but nonetheless sees his trajectory as a somewhat accidental one.
“I grew up on classic rock, while living through the pinnacle of boy band realness,” he said. “I didn’t ever know how I was going to fit into the musical theater mold. … Chris pushes me to go further than I ever have musically. It’s really a great outlet for my own musical voice, not focused through a theatrical lens.”Dwan sees Stereo Dawn's music as a celebration of “our friendship, our loves, our loses and what it means to have a true partner in crime.
