The 2015 Acoustic Salute to the Music of Bob Dylan

Today I received an email about the 2015 concert at Sacred Heart at the beginning of Duluth Dylan Fest. It was indeed a very. special event, with Mayor Don Ness making a proclamation that it was Scarlet Rivera Day here in the town where Bob Dylan was born and continues to be celebrated.

The event was titled Acoustic Salute to the Music of Bob Dylan.

For me it was a privilege to be part of it, with Marc Percansky as MC, the late John Bushey performing magic like the master entertainer he was, and a fabulous array of musicians and performers.

Here's the setlist along with hotlinks to the segments from each of the three segments of this wonderfully crafted event.

Here's my 2015 review of the concert. In it I include details about the thoughtful rationale for how the concert was arranged.
