  • Cain's Ballroom 423 North Main Street Tulsa, OK, 74103 United States (map)

UPDATE: This event has reached capacity and is now sold out. No more tickets will be made available.

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.

Featured performers include Laura Cantrell, Elvis Costello, Martin Courtney of Real Estate, Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs, Joy Harjo, Robyn Hitchcock, Lonnie Holley, Diana Krall, Paul Metsa, Kevin Morby, Amy Ray of Indigo Girls, Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy, Emma Swift, Sharon Van Etten and Lucinda Williams.

Setting the evening’s musical tone will be a house band of accomplished musicians including: indie-rock band Chatham County Line (Greg Readling, John Teer, Dave Wilson); Brad Cook, Phil Cook and Darren Jessee. Event co-curator Doug Keith will round out the house band and serve as music director.

Additionally, three musicians who played with Dylan on “Blood on the Tracks” will perform: keyboardist Greg Inhofer, guitarist Kevin Odegard and bassist Billy Peterson. Odegard will play the same acoustic guitar he played in the session with Dylan. In 2019, Odegard donated the Martin guitar to the Bob Dylan Center, where it has been on display since the center’s grand opening in 2022.
