    For fourteen years, from 2006 through 2019, this annual celebration of the musical legacy of Bob Dylan, resumes again this year, and is performed by some of the best musicians in the Sedona/Verde Valley area,  This event has been one of the most popular music events at OTCA and all of northern Arizona.

    Bob Dylan, an American singer-songwriter, author, visual artist, Grammy winner, Academy Award winner, Nobel Prize laureate, and countless other accolades, is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters and musicians of all time. He has been a major figure in popular culture spanning the past 60 years, beginning his career in the early 1960’s, with songs such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a- Changin’.”

    Dylan will be 81 years old (young) on May 24 and is still going strong today with his “Rough and Rowdy Ways” tour, the latest version of his famous Never Ending Tour, in full swing.

    Joe Neri, founder, producer and performer of these many Dylan tribute concerts, will be back with his usual great line-up of local and not-so-local musicians. This year’s performers include Tommy Anderson,Tyler Barrett, the Salt Miners (Nora Bolles, Mike McReynolds, Mark Gifford), Gary Every, Dave and Luke Harvey, Suzie Schomaker, Tim Young, and the Mystery Tramps house band (Joe Neri, Larry Hill, J.J.

    “I’ve been a Bob Dylan fan since 1962, the year it all began,’ says Neri. “Bob and I share the same birth date – May 24 – and I organized the first concert in 2006 kind of as a lark to celebrate both of our birthdays with music. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine just how popular it would be. Each year, the concert got bigger and bigger, in terms of both audience and musicians. I am honored to be able to bring this 17th edition of the Bob Dylan Birthday Concert to all of his fans here in the Sedona/Verde Valley area and I am thankful to the Old Town Center for the Arts for making it happen. It’s going to be a truly great show.”

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
