Bob Dylan will turn 77 on May 24 and, as usual, his songs will be sung at a number of tribute concerts in New Jersey and New York.
Just announced is Million Dollar Bash Revisited, at Montclair’s Outpost in the Burbs, April 20. A sequel to the Outpost’s 2016 Dylan tribute (which featured The Kennedys, Lucy Kaplansky, Guy Davis and Rod MacDonald), this one will feature The Kennedys, Kaplansky, Bluebirds of Paradise (Ari Hest and Chrissi Poland) and James Maddock.
