Music Series: Bob Dylan’s 83rd Birthday Celebration

The LIM, the Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council, and WUSB-FM’s  Sunday Street concert series present an eclectic music series featuring nationally and internationally known touring artists. All performances will take place in the Carriage Museum’s Gillespie Room.

September 16-19th, 1974  found Bob Dylan in a Manhattan studio to record what would be regarded as one of his greatest albums, Blood on the Tracks. In late December of that year, he suddenly decided to re-record several of the tracks in advance of the release of the album in January, 1975.

This year’s Dylan birthday celebration centers on the 50^th anniversary of its recording. While you’ll hear many of the songs from that esteemed album, you’ll also hear other Dylan songs — both familiar as well as possibly unfamiliar — from his extensive catalogue.

The artists include:  The Kennedys, Rod MacDonald, Russ Seeger, Steve Kaplan, Tom Ryan and Mark Mancini with special guest Mary Lee Kortes (who, in 2002  recorded a track by track cover of the ‘Blood on the Tracks’ album.)

Seats are limited to 100 for this annual event, which is always a sell-out!
