In the liner notes of Bob Dylan’s 5-album retrospective


“Biograph”, Cameron Crowe relates the story of a party in New York City
where guests were invited to dress up as characters, things,
interpretations and misinterpretations of Bob Dylan lyrics. In May of
1991 Andy Hill, Renee Safier and their band The Management expanded the
concept by donning costumes and performing 4 hours of live Bob Dylan
music to a packed house at the smoke-filled Hermosa Saloon.

In
the ensuing years the event took on a life of its own, expanding first
into a 10-hour potluck backyard house party. Attracting guest musicians,
singers, bands and revelers from far and wide it eventually grew into
the music festival it is today. You’ll hear folk music, country, rock
and roll, blues, gospel, Americana and more performed by Andy &
Renee and Hard Rain plus over 40 other talented musicians. What you
won’t hear over the 7 plus hours of continuous music are any repeated
songs. And every year since 1991, someone has played at least one song
that has never been performed at any previous Dylanfest.

As
Andy, Renee and their 9-piece band Hard Rain look toward this year’s
24th Anniversary of Dylanfest, more than ever, the day is part concert,
part ritual, part celebration, and part reunion - and all Bob Dylan.
