Journal News

When Bob Dylan moved from Minnesota to New York City in 1960, he was just a few months from the start of his fast rise to stardom.

The city quickly became his creative and inspirational playground where he could collaborate, learn from and work with some of the most innovative musicians of the time.

Inspired by people such as Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, Little Richard, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and his coffee house musician buddies in Greenwich Village, Dylan explored all the genres of American song including country, folk, gospel, rock 'n' roll and even jazz.

But it was in songwriting where he made his mark, culminating with the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 for his lyrics. His long career has spanned politics, social change, philosophy and literature and continue to entertain his fans attending his Never Ending Tour that has been running since the 1980s.

Dylan will be in Port Chester this week for three shows at The Capitol Theatre. He then moves to Kingston's Hutton Brickyards for two shows, June 23-24.
