In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Bob Dylan’s classic album “Blood on the Tracks,” the Bob Dylan Center will present Shelter from the Storm, a major multi-artist concert featuring an exciting array of musicians for whom Dylan and his 1975 song cycle remain touchstones of inspiration and wonderment. Emceed by actor Luke Wilson, the concert will highlight all of the songs on “Blood on the Tracks,” as well as a wide assortment of other Dylan songs from his expansive discography. Artists such as Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Lucinda Williams and more will perform the 1975 masterpiece “Blood on the Tracks” and other selections from the Dylan songbook.
Featured performers will also include Laura Cantrell, Elvis Costello, Martin Courtney of Real Estate, Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs, Joy Harjo, Robyn Hitchcock, Lonnie Holley, Diana Krall, Paul Metsa, Kevin Morby, Amy Ray of Indigo Girls, Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy, Emma Swift, Sharon Van Etten and Lucinda Williams.
Additionally, three musicians who played with Dylan on “Blood on the Tracks” will perform: keyboardist Greg Inhofer, guitarist Kevin Odegard and bassist Billy Peterson. Odegard will play the same acoustic guitar he played in the session with Dylan. In 2019, Odegard donated the Martin guitar to the Bob Dylan Center, where it has been on display since the center’s grand opening in 2022.
The house band will include indie-rock band Chatham County Line (Greg Readling, John Teer, Dave Wilson); Brad Cook, Phil Cook, Darren Jessee and Doug Keith.
