Continuing a tradition that began at the Caravan Club's original location at the Oakleigh RSL in 2011 for Bob’s 70th, Leicashow and Caravan bring their beloved Bob Dylan Birthday bash to Brunswick for the first time.
It's a tradition that has seen some of the biggest and brightest in Australian music - including Vika & Linda, Joe Camilleri, Tex Perkins, Tim Rogers, Mick Thomas and Henry Wagons - join in to perform songs that are enmeshed in the very fabric of their musical lives and to wish Bob a good one, and this year will be no exception.
Long-established Dylan fan favourites Rob Snarski, Rebecca Barnard, Lisa Miller and Charles Jenkins and up-and-coming alternative country sensation Freya Jospehine Hollick, fresh from her chartbusting second album The Real World, are all on board, and there are other vocalists to be announced. They'll all be backed by the incredible house band, The Luminaries featuring MD Shane O’Mara, Shane Reilly, Adrian Whitehead, Rick Plant and Ben Wiesner. As is the case every year, everybody will dig deep and give their very best - for you and for Bob.
None of us are getting any younger, but certain things are apparently ageless. And while Bob Dylan may be turning 82, his vast catalogue of songs - songs written over a period now spanning about 60 years - remains as wondrous, relevant and life-affirming as ever. It is a body of work that has, indeed, remained forever young.
