“a musician of chameleonic skill, equally at ease with the dusky Americana of a T Bone Burnett production as he is with the scrabbling provocations of John Zorn”
The New York Times
“a guitar original — someone who crosses genres to create good music”
NPR
Marc Ribot will perform re-interpretations and re-framings of Bob Dylan’s mid 1960s-era visionary poetry, the poetic environment from which Dylan’s work emerged, and the visionary poetry/music emerging after from it, including settings of pieces by Allen Ginsberg, Alice Notley, Richard Siken, W.H. Auden, and others. He will be accompanied by friend and longtime Ceramic Dog band-mate Shahzad Ismaily on drums, Bass, guitar, pump organ, and whatever else is there.
Expect music that rocks, improvisation, re-interpretation of the familiar, and familiarization of the strange, free jazz, ranting, crooning, shouting, and skronk from a guitarist who has recorded with Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Marriane Faithful, Laurie Anderson, Diana Krall, Henry Grimes, McCoy Tyner, the Lounge Lizards, Arto Lindsay, and many others.
