DYLANesque

October 21, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$44.95
DYLANesque

DYLANesque is a powerful celebration of the life, times and music of the legendary Bob Dylan is returning from a regional tour to the Yarra Valley.

DYLANesque – the Bob Dylan Story tribute show, devised and performed by local Healesville musician Jeff Jenkins, is a roller-coaster journey which charts the humble beginnings of Dylan’s career.

The Show

It includes his pivotal relationships and break-ups, his trail-blazing songs of the ‘60s and ‘70s, the multitude of musical influences – folk, blues, country, rock ‘n’ roll – and his profound impact on popular music and culture.

The two-hour narrated concert leads audiences through the unforgettable events that shaped Bob Dylan, one of the world’s most influential artists, who was recognised last year with the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Jenkins opens the show with the extraordinary tale from 1961, when an intrepid teenager hitch-hiked his way from Duluth Minnesota to New York City with only a guitar and $10 in his pocket, busking to make a living. This same young man would go on to become one of the most successful and revered songwriters of all time.

What to expect

Enjoy authentic renditions of Dylan classics including Blowin’ in the Wind, Lay Lady Lay, Tangled up in Blue, Rolling Stone, Hurricane, All Along the Watchtower and A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.

Backed by four stellar musicians, Jenkins’ engaging performance recalls the controversial scenes when Dylan “went electric” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, how he went from solo artist to playing with The Band, and through his rich and varied musical incarnations, including the much-loved Traveling Wilburys.

Says Jenkins: “I read everything I could get my hands on about Dylan and worked all the fascinating stories into a show that would make a great night of rock ‘n’ roll. Dylan is an intriguing subject because of his constant evolution as an artist, immense catalogue of work and his personality; he’s a man who will always march to the beat of his own drum.”

DYLANesque will play at 7.30pm on Saturday, 21 October at The Memo in Healesville. Book on www.dylanesque.com.au/gig-dates
