Derek and sf hipster

Wealthy Theatre is proud to present Derek Webb (formerly of Caedmon's Call) live in concert, Friday, October 30 at 7:30pm.  Tickets available online now!

"We're excited to provide Derek and his fans with one of the best sounding, best looking stops on the national tour," said Theatre Director Erin Wilson.  "It's going to be a brilliant Halloween weekend, with Derek on Friday and 'Ritsu vs. Nosferatu' on Oct. 31 at 10pm.'"

As a member of the Houston, Texas-based Caedmon’s Call, Webb has seen career sales approaching 1 million records, along with 10 GMADove Award nominations and three Dove Award wins and six #1 Christian radio hits.

Citing writer/producer Danger Mouse (“The Grey Album,” Gnarls Barkley, “Dark Night of the Soul”) as an influence, Webb says he and Moore made the record Gnarls Barkley-style: “Instead of writing a dozen songs and then trying to figure out the best way to record them, Josh and I spent a year collecting sounds we loved – beats, loops, odd bits of programming – then weaving those elements into tracks that moved us and made us feel something. Only then did we even begin to think about song structures and melodies and lyrics. It was the total reverse of my usual process and by far the most fun I’ve ever had making a record.” That sense of fun is palpable in every track from the sexy strut of “Black Eye” and “Cobra Con” to the glammy electropop of “Jena & Jimmy” and Webb’s ironic Fred Phelps-inspired love song, “Freddie, Please.”

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME is described as Derek Webb’s most soulful and subversive album yet – and the most dangerous and thrilling pop record of the year.
