A TRIBUTE show to Bob Dylan will return to Healesville’s Memo Hall for an extra night in April, after a sell-out show in town in March.
DYLANesque is a two-hour narrated rock and roll show, exploring the life and music of renowned musician, Bob Dylan.
A four-piece band, led by Jeff Jenkins, performs more than 30 of Dylan’s songs, with stories in between about the times in his life that influenced his music.
The show, which has been performed for the last six months, spans from Dylan’s early years through to his evolution as a world-renowned artist – and everywhere in between.
The group played a sold-out show at Healesville’s Memo Hall on Saturday, 5 March, and have been announced for a second show on Saturday, 30 April.
The 5 March show sold out three weeks before the night of the show.
In a preview of the show at Yarra Ranges Council’s Culture Tracks launch in January, Mr Jenkins performed solo songs to the audience, receiving a rousing round of applause.
Mr Jenkins said he had always been a fan of Dylan’s music.
“To me, he’s one of a handful of musicians who literally changed music forever with their influence,” he said.
Tickets to the Healesville show are $18 and $22 for stall seats, or $25 for table seats, and the show starts at 8pm.
