After a summer-long tour of America’s minor league ballparks, Bob Dylan and his Band have just announced their fall tour and have scheduled three performances at the Wang Theatre in Boston. Tickets go on sale Saturday, October 10 at 10am.

 

Besides performing over 100 concerts each year for the past 15 years, Bob Dylan drops into millions of households each week with his highly popular satellite radio program Theme Time Radio Hour.  In recent years, he has also received the big-screen treatment, courtesy of film director Martin Scorcese, with the critically acclaimed release of No Direction Home, the first feature-length film biography of Bob Dylan.  Prior to that, he spent over 20 weeks on the New York Times best seller list with the publication of Chronicles: Volume One, the first in a series of the artist’s self-penned personal histories.   In between these high-water marks, Bob has earned multiple Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Kennedy Center Honor (the highest honor of artistic achievement given in the United States).  As a recording artist, he continues to hit the long ball.  After debuting at #1 with his last record, Modern Times, Bob Dylan just released a brand new studio album this Spring which also debuted at #1.  Entitled Together Through Life, it’s received 4-star reviews from MOJO, The London Telegraph and the New York Times.

 

On a separate note, Bob Dylan will release a brand new album of holiday songs, Christmas In The Heart, on Tuesday, October 13. All of the artist's U.S. royalties from sales of these recordings will be donated to Feeding America, guaranteeing that more than four million meals will be provided to more than 1.4 million people in need in this country during this year's holiday season.

 

All tickets reserved ($45.00) will be available at the Citi Performing Arts Center Box Office, online at citicenter.org or by phone at 866-348-9738.
