Bob Dylan’s seemingly never-ending tour itinerary has been fortified with a new series of fall West Coast dates, which will come on the heels of his current summer tour.
Dylan doesn’t have any concert dates scheduled from late August through September, but will return to the road in early October to open the fall leg.
Dylan toured the Southern U.S. earlier this year before launching a European trek that wrapped up in mid-May. His North American summer jaunt, now in progress, followed.
Dylan’s current backing band features Larry Campbell (guitar, violin, banjo, mandolin), Charlie Sexton (guitar), Tony Garnier (bass) and George Recile (drums).
In February, Dylan’s album “Love and Theft"--which was released on Sept. 11, 2001-- won the Grammy award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The album, which is Dylan’s 43rd, was also nominated for Album of the Year, and Dylan was nominated in the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the album’s track “Honest With Me.”
