The autumn continuation of the Dylan Jubilee celebrations will be an extraordinary part of this year’s Blues Alive festival in Šumperk on 11-13. November.

Tickets for specific Dylan Days programs within Blues Alive are on sale separately from today at https://bluesalive.cz/vstupenky/ and will be available without the need for a season ticket.

Friday, November 12

11-12: 30 in the city library colloquium dedicated to Dylan and his work, whose participants will be Jakub Guziur, Petr Onufer, Robert Křesťan, Jan Řepka and Jan Sobotka. So they are mostly translators, performers, English speakers or music publicists – often variously accumulating these functions – one way or another dealing with the life and work of a jubilant giant.

13-14: 30 also in the library a lecture by Elijah Wald, the author of the book Dylan went to electricity!. The same ticket for this lecture is valid as for the colloquium, it is not listed in the advance sale.

11-13 in the cinema Bob Dylan’s film Never Ending Tour Diaries: Drummer Winston Watson’s Incredible Journey (2009), will be presented in person by Winston Watson, among others the drummer of Dylan’s first four concerts in Prague.

13-15 in the large hall of the House of Culture concert of Robert Křesťan a Druhá tráva with guest Winston Watson (it is part of the main program, you must have a season ticket).

16-17: 30 in the library lecture by Elijah Wald, this time dedicated not to Dylan, but to the roots of the blues. We remind you that Elijah W. is also the author of the great book The Blues: A Very Short Introduction, so we also highly recommend it!
