The Nobel Prize-winning, folk-rock songwriter kicks off a 14-date West Coast tour run on May 28 in Spokane before coming to Kennewick. It’s part of his “Rough and Rowdy Ways” World Wide Tour.
He’ll also perform this summer in Seattle, L.A., San Diego, Eugene and Redding.
The tour continues through 2024.
Dylan’s set list for the tour is littered with cuts from his recent works, as well as back catalog hits including, “To Be Alone With You,” “Watching the River Flow” and “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight.”
Raised in Minnesota, Dylan cut his teeth in the New York counterculture scene in the early 1960s as a rising folk singer-songwriter.
His sophomore record, “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,” includes hits such as “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Masters of War” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.” He’s also the pen behind “Like a Rolling Stone,” “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “The Times They Are A-Changin.’”
Dylan is a 10-time Grammy winner, has sold more than 125 million records and is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor.
He was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
