Shelter from the Storm: A Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of “Blood on the Tracks” – SOLD OUT

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s classic album "Blood on the Tracks,” the Bob Dylan Center will present a major multi-artist concert featuring an exciting array of musicians for whom Dylan and his 1975 song cycle remain touchstones of inspiration and wonderment. This one-night-only event will take place on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025, at Cain’s Ballroom, Tulsa’s 100-year-old honky-tonk where Dylan himself has performed. The concert will highlight all of the songs on "Blood on the Tracks," as well as a wide assortment of other Dylan songs from across his expansive discography, all performed by a house band and a rotating cast of featured performers.
