Join us as we welcome Thomas Dolby, the iconic ’80s star whose smash hits She Blinded Me With Science and Hyperactive helped define the MTV generation/revolution, to the Clive Davis Theater. The five-time Grammy®-nominated British artist quit the music business in the early ’90s and spent many years in Silicon Valley. Dolby will break his 20-year silence with a new release titled A Map of the Floating City. The album, featuring appearances by special guest artists Mark Knopfler, Regina Spektor, Natalie MacMaster, Bruce Woolley and Imogen Heap, will be available on October 25 on Lost Toy People Records as a regular and hi-res download, physical CD and in a special Deluxe Edition featuring a second disc of instrumentals and bonus tracks. Hear Dolby in discussion about his celebrated career, current success and his newest album A Map of the Floating City. After an interview with Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum, Bob Santelli, Dolby will take audience questions and perform a selection of songs from his new album.
