Bob Dylan recently said: “If you sang ‘John Henry’ as many times as me—‘John Henry was a steel-driving man / Died with a hammer in his hand / John Henry said a man ain’t nothin’ but a man / Before I let that steam drill drive me down / I’ll die with that hammer in my hand.’ If you had sung that song as many times as I did, you’d have written ‘How many roads must a man walk down,’ [the opening line of his song, “Blowin’ in the Wind”] too.”
In this genre-spanning concert, students from across Berklee honor the legendary singer-songwriter through bold, original arrangements of his timeless songs, as well as the songs he was influenced by. From stripped-down acoustic old-time and bluegrass renditions and electrifying rock 'n' roll to imaginative jazz, gospel, and classical interpretations, this performance celebrates Dylan’s enduring influence across musical styles and generations. Each piece reflects the creativity and versatility of Berklee’s emerging artists, led by Berklee American Roots Music Program Artistic Director Matt Glaser.
Don’t miss this celebration of innovation, tradition, and creativity, featuring guest artists Tim O'Brien, Lucy Kaplansky, Tony Trischka, Annie Raines, Matt Rollings, Bruce Molsky, Farayi Malek, Dr. Trineice Robinson-Martin, Larry Watson, Berklee Faculty Big Band led by Peter Kenagy, Tom Piazza, and more.
