FOLK ROCK: Bob Dylan’s Birthday Party (5/23)

By Ryan Whirty on May 20, 2009

It's hard to believe that Bob Dylan is pushing 70. Well, maybe not that hard to believe. But on May 24, the great American troubadour turns 68, which means that he was a spry 45 when a group of Rochester musicians, led by the late Chuck Cuminale, first gathered to recognize Dylan's birthday with a celebratory bash. This year's party is hosted by local band Hunu? and the Bop Shop, which will welcome area musicians, devoted fans, and an assortment of other Dylan disciples in a free-flowing, interactive tribute to Mr. Zimmerman.
