Breaking Through: revisiting the post-punk legacy of Bloomington’s Sally’s Dream

Breaking Through: Revisiting Sally's Dream

In 1983, four Bloomington musicians - Chrissie Dickinson, Cynthia Hammond, Jenny Davis, and Emily Jackson - formed Sally's Dream, a post-punk band inspired by Patti Smith, X, and The Clash.

The band performed across the Midwest and later in Boston, earning strong reviews from the Indiana music press and sharing stages with national acts like Fishbone, Romeo Void, and 10,000 Maniacs.

Despite writing and recording original music, their work remained largely unheard, aside from a few compilation appearances and homemade cassette releases.
