This popular tribute to the music of Bob Dylan is performed annually by some of the best musicians in the Verde Valley area, celebrating the birthday (Bob will be 78 years young) of one of the most legendary, iconic and influential musicians in the history of modern American music.
Among his many honors, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. Dylan fans have known for decades that the songs and music of Robert Zimmerman have transcended what songs and music have always been, that they were poetry and commentary and more, and have endured with meaning for over half a century. The Swedish Academy honored Bob Dylan with its prestigious prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”
Joe Neri, founder and director of OTCA’s “Bob Bash,” returns from his new home in New Mexico, to continue the tradition of a great night of great music performed by great musicians. This year, the show will feature performances by local musicians Tyler Barrett, Tim Young, Suzie Schomaker, Gina Machovina and Ron McLain. In addition, the Mystery Tramps, Neri’s special band just for the Dylan shows, will round out the program, featuring Neri on vocals and guitar, Larry Hill on lead guitar, Hutch Hutchinson on bass and Alan Albert on drums.
