Thomas Dolby

Thomas Dolby is a new wave and synthpop pioneer best known for "She Blinded Me with Science," a song that turned him into an MTV-era fixture and a symbol of early 80s synth pop. He built a career on inventive, keyboard-driven songwriting and went on to work as a producer and tech innovator, developing ringtone synthesizer technology that shaped mobile audio in the 2000s.

He has an upcoming date at Mission Ballroom, a chance to hear those synth hooks live from the man who wrote the book on them.
