The music that inspired a generation to ask questions is as relevant today as it was over 50 years ago when the kid from Minnesota challenged us to find the answers he believed were Blowin’ in the Wind. To celebrate the Nobel Prize winner’s 84th birthday, Pat Guadagno and Tired Horses bring BobFest – the music of Bob Dylan—to Bethlehem.
From modest beginnings at a New Jersey café, the annual musical celebration of Bob Dylan’s birthday has stood in residence at Red Bank’s Count Basie Theater for over 25 years and has grown to become ‘New Jersey’s hippest musical event’—Rock’ journalist Uncle Mike.
Pat Guadagno’s unique musical interpretations have been featured in films and in the award-winning Showtime series CALIFORNICATION. The well-traveled troubadour whose performance The New York Times called “a musical journey” guarantees a soulful, heartfelt delivery of the poet laureate’s words, with a band that will shake your windows and rattle your walls.
Anyone who’s been to one of Pat Guadagno’s musical celebrations, Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen), The Heart of Saturday Night (Tom Waits), 100 Years of Hank (Hank Williams), Souvenirs (John Prine), or A Marvelous Night (Van Morrison), knows to expect the magic of Bob Dylan to be delivered with the passion and reverence that have become Guadagno’s trademark.
