The Lost Album. With Dennis Diken and the Smithereens

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing my guest in action twice with the band he helped found. Once with the larger-than-life front man, the late great Pat DiNizio at the legendary Lounge Ax back in 1991, and again in 2018 with Marshall Crenshaw. Dennis Diken is the drummer for the Smithereens which will perform for one night only in Chicago on November 2 at City Winery, citywinery.com. This on the release of the band’s new raw and gritty, The Lost album.
