Daniel Watkins • Justin Vilchez

Happy 83rd Birthday Party for Bob Dylan at the Wesley Anne bluegrass style.
Two powerhouse bluegrass players, Daniel Watkins and Justin Vilchez assemble their friends for a bluegrass tribute for Bob Dylan’s 83rd birthday. The are joined by an old favourite of the Wesley Anne band room – Redfish Bluegrass bass player Jim Taylor and several of his band mates for the occasion. 

The sets will include interpretations of songs from Blood on the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde and some deep cuts from his bootleg which have been covered over the years like Simple Twist of Fate, Forever Young, Senor, Don’t Think Twice, I Shall Be Released, You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere and of course Tangled Up in Blue.  Jim has put together guest banjovists such as Pete Somerville, a variety of singers, and favourites from the Australian bluegrass community who will come together to make the Sunday arvo event of the weekend.  The event may become a stable of the yearly musical event calendar at the Wesley Anne.
