Rory Block – Tribute to Bob Dylan
Nashville Social Club 1105 South Carson Street, Carson City, NV, United StatesRory Block – A Blues Legend Pays Tribute to Bob Dylan 🎶
7-time Blues Music Award winner and Gold-recording artist Rory Block is one of the most celebrated voices in American roots music. Widely regarded as the top female performer of traditional country blues, her 36 albums have honored the legends who shaped the genre—many of whom she met and learned from firsthand.
Now, in a powerful new direction, Rory steps away from her Power Women of the Blues series to pay tribute to another musical giant—Bob Dylan. 💫 Raised in the heart of Greenwich Village during the 1960s folk revival, Rory remembers the surreal normalcy of seeing Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and John Lennon strolling down West 4th Street. Her father’s sandal shop was a hub for local musicians, and the soundtrack of her youth became the foundation for her life's work.
🪕 For this special tribute, Rory performs all the instruments herself—fingerpicked acoustic and slide guitar, bass, and drums—creating raw, intimate, one-of-a-kind renditions of Dylan’s most beloved songs. With her signature raspy vocals, deep blues soul, and emotional authenticity, she reimagines his music with reverence and originality.
✨ “Probably the most persistent and enthusiastic requests from my fans has been to record a Bob Dylan tribute… it had to start by just plugging in the mics and pressing record.” – Rory Block
Come witness a truly special performance by an artist who lives and breathes music. This is not just a show—it’s a heartfelt connection to the past, told through the hands and voice of a living legend
