The Many Sides Of Bob Dylan is a career spanning tribute performed by Near Dead Experience (an NYC based Grateful Dead cover project) and Philosophers (the original project of songwriter Phil Radiotes). Delve deep into Dylan’s catalog with the band as they blend folky and jammy elements together to bring a fresh sound to these important songs. We celebrate the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll, the voice of the promise of the 60's counterculture. The guy who bedded folk with rock, who donned makeup in the 70's and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse, who emerged to find Jesus, who was written off as a has-been in 80's, and who suddenly shifted gears releasing some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late 90's. Come celebrate the many sides of Bob Dylan with us.


"The Last Waltz" was a seminal concert in rock and roll history, performed by "The Band" with special guests, in November of 1976. The concert was made into a documentary film, directed by Martin Scorsese, that has influenced generations of musicians. "The Last Waltz Band" is a collective of passionate musicians that pay tribute to the legacy and spirit of this music. The group is led by multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Ben Pinnola on the keyboards, saxophone and vocals. Ben has a deep connection with the material and has been performing it for years. On bass and vocals is international touring and recording artist, Blake Dean. Blake captures the fluidity and playfulness of Rick Danko's intricate basslines. On guitar is the wonderful Will Bart, a dynamic musician who has played with blues/rock artists all over the country. Will also fronts his own hard hitting jam band called "Johnny in the Basement". And on drums is Dakota Henry. Dakota has studied the Levon Helm drum parts and techniques very thoroughly and provides an authentic feel to "The Last Waltz Band", while adding in his own flair. Dakota has toured the USA and Canada in many groups including his own original jam band "Dysfunktone". "The Last Waltz Band" provides a high energy and captivating concert experience that brings to life the music of "The Band" and honors its late members Levon Helm, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko & Robbie Robertson.
