You are invited to celebrate Bob Dylan’s 84th Birthday (May 24, 2026) with Bob Case and The St. Louis Tickle. Hear songs that introduced the world to Dylan, from his early folk beginnings through his electric period, country, gospel and down to the present.
Dylan’s career changed and challenged our musical landscape, blending cues from philosophy, literature, spirituality, early roots music, art and whatever else was at hand. Bob Case was influenced by Dylan in his early teens and saw him as an example of what it meant to be an artist for his generation. Traveling through the south during the Folk Revival of the 60’s, Bob learned directly from Country Blues artists Bukka White, Fury Lewis, Sleepy John Estes and Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Growing up in St. Louis, on weekends Bluegrass and Country music was everywhere. Bob blended all these styles together creating roots music understanding to build a musical career. Moving to Boston in the early 1970’s Bob hooked up with slide guitarist J.B. Hutto, playing bass, touring and recording with J.B. on the 1980’s W.C. Handy Blues award album “Keeper Of The Flame”.
Dylan’s music is a stew of traditional roots music, rock n' roll, folk, country, gospel and pop. His song ideas address the complexities of his time with questions that needed an answer.
