Andy & Renee Top Bill at 30th Anniversary of KUMD’s “Highway 61 Revisited” Radio Show

Andy

The weekly “Highway 61 Revisited” radio show – featuring the music of Duluth-born Bob Dylan – first aired 30 years ago on KUMD 103.3 FM. Friday evening, Duluth DylanFest and KUMD will mark this milestone with a special celebration featuring a performance from Los Angeles-based rock and folk duo Andy & Renee. Multi-instrumentalist and longtime Duluth musician Marc Gartman will open. This special evening is one of numerous events orchestrated to recognize St. Louis County’s “Year of Dylan” proclamation.

Since a chance meeting at the University of Denver, Andy Hill and Renee Safier have carved out a unique niche for themselves in the Los Angeles music scene and beyond. Their performances – more than 200 a year – are as much social gathering as musical event. Part fan family reunion, part rock & roll tent revival, their live shows attract a large, enthusiastic, and fiercely loyal group of fans.

& Renee

Devout Dylan fans and specialists in his music, Andy & Renee have taken their unique sound and multi-instrumental skills to venues large and small all over the world. Their 17 CDs and three DVD releases have won them countless awards. They are known as producers and performers of three decades of Dylanfest, an annual 8-hour music festival, attended by hundreds of fans, featuring many top L.A. musicians, in honor of Bob’s birthday.
