Live music returns to Hill Country Live! as Jeff Slate & Friends lead a celebration of Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday at Hill Country Live! NYC on Friday, June 11th. Whether you’re a hardcore fan of Bob Dylan, a classic rock trivia buff or just discovering the greatest songwriter of the past 50 plus years, this show is for you. In celebration of this milestone in Dylan’s life, Jeff Slate and his all-star band will treat you to an evening of stellar rock and roll, and will be joined by some of the hottest names on the NYC and national music scene, so this is one that is not to be missed. In May 2014 he made his Hill Country Live! debut with his Dylan Obscura show to a packed house. Prior to the 2020 lockdown, he’d returned monthly with stellar, packed shows celebrating David Bowie, Tom Petty and others, and playing original music inspired by those legends.

Jeff will perform a live Bob Dylan Birthday Celebration Live Stream Show, part of the Heaven's Door Whiskey Happy Hour, from the Duluth Dylan Fest Facebook Page from 5:45–6:15 PM CDT.

On this final day of the conference, we will once again feature another great singer-songwriter who will talk broadly about the ways in which Dylan shaped his craft and what he can still teach artists who are working in this vibrant tradition. Eric Andersen first came to prominence in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, where he honed his craft alongside Dylan, Dave van Ronk, Phil Ochs, and Tom Paxton. In the years that followed, he grew into what Rolling Stone has called “one of our finest singers and songwriters, in the most literal sense of that tradition.” He has released 30 albums of his own material and his work has been covered by Gillian Welch, Linda Ronstadt, the Grateful Dead, and many more. He is the subject of the new PBS documentary, The Songpoet. This conversation will range broadly across life, work, and career and will help us better understand Dylan’s art and artistry.
