The Wallflowers Jakob Dylan has written and performed the theme song for the ABC TV show 'Six Degrees'.
The song 'Here Comes Now' was produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2) and will debut in the show's premiere on September 21.Dylan has entered into an agreement with the show's producers to regularly contribute new music to the show.
He has already handed over the songs 'Stardust Universe' and 'No Matter What' for later episodes to the show's producer J.J. Abrams.
"J.J. and his team make such great and innovative television, and I was instantly intrigued by their plans to make music such an integral part of the storytelling of 'Six Degrees', he said in a statement. "Plus, J.J. promised me that I can see episodes of 'Lost' before anyone else, but that had nothing to do with my saying yes."
Six Degrees stars Jay Hernandez ("Friday Night Lights") as Carlos, Bridget Moynahan ("Sex and the City") as Whitney, Erika Christensen ("Flightplan") as Mae, Dorian Missick ("Lucky Number Slevin") as Damian, with Campbell Scott ("The Secret Lives of Dentists") as Steven Caseman and Hope Davis ("About Schmidt") as Laura. The series is shot on location in New York City. Executive producers are J.J. Abrams, Stuart Zicherman, Raven Metzner, Bryan Burk and Ken Biller. "Six Degrees" is produced by Touchstone Television.
Meanwhile, the Dylan name is maintaining dominance in the US again this week. Jakob's dad Bob Dylan is still at number 3 on the Billboard chart with his 'Modern Times' album.
