Ypsitucky Colonels at Dylanfest!

The Colonels will be joining a really stellar cast of performers at the Blind Pig this Saturday, Sept. 15, for the annual Dylanfest extravaganza. Nearly 30 performers will play their favorite Bob Dylan songs during what is always a really, really fun event.

We’ve worked up cool arrangements to songs that sort of bookend Bob Dylan’s career, choosing a rocked-up take on “Baby Let Me Follow You Down” from his first record and the sublime “Lovesick” from the relatively recent “Time Out of Mind” album.

Joining us as an honorary Colonel-For-A-Day will be Mark Oppat, who will be sitting in on drums for Adam, who had a prior commitment.

No hype here, folks: Dylanfest is one of the musical highlights of the year – and the proceeds benefit the Ecology Center’s Mary Beth Doyle Fund. A good cause and a great night of music.

See you there!

Bob Dylan AND Elvis Costello to play EMU October 12

While not having the local chops of the Ypsitucky Colonels, relative unknowns Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello will be playing the ACC at Eastern Michigan University (What, is it Chris Webber appreciation night at Crisler?) on October 12.

Tickets will be on sale September 7th at all bend-over-and-take-it Ticketmaster outlets.

Dylan and Costello will be releasing their set lists to Johnny a week before the show for approval....as far as you know
