An icon of the great American song tradition shares his rowdy, generational genius.

Bob Dylan’s career has lasted the better part of sixty years now. He has never gotten by on sentimentality or nostalgia. He has never repeated his successes. Dylan has always pushed his work ahead. He has collected 12 Grammys, an Oscar, a Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Even more notably, his songs have changed American music–and the ways we think about American change and possibility. 

PLEASE NOTE: This show will be a phone-free experience. Use of cell phones, cameras, or recording devices will not be permitted in the performance space. Upon arrival at the venue, all phones will be secured in Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event.

There had never been anything quite like Bob Dylan in the 1960s, and there’s nothing quite like him today…”
