SIMPLY DYLAN
A MUSICAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE CAREER OF ONE
OF THE WORLD’S MOST ICONIC SINGER-SONGWRITERS
Following
his debut nationwide tour last year; Liverpool based artist John
O'Connell will be taking Simply Dylan - his personal exploration and
celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan on the
road this September.
Simply
Dylan is as straightforward as the title suggests: no frills, no
gimmicks, no pretense, no lookalikes, no carbon copy. However this is no
ordinary interpretation of Bob
Dylan, this is a remarkable and exceptional project which promises to
delight Dylan fans young and old and to ignite a new wave of passion for
one of the world's most prodigious songwriters.
John
O'Connell (formerly of Groundpig) who leads Simply Dylan, is a rare
talent who has had his name indelibly written in to the tapestry of
Liverpool's music scene, has collaborated
with other highly reputable musicians from the city to form his Dylan
Band.
It
is their precise playing and high energy renditions of Dylan's work
from the 1970s onwards which has gathered momentum and generated
incredible interest. From a modest project
recognizing Dylan's 70th Birthday in 2011 Simply Dylan has gone from
selling out the Cavern Club 7 times over to receiving fantastic reviews
from Press across Europe with Louder Than War calling Simply Dylan ‘..A
show that every Bob Dylan fan should see!’.
John O’Connell said:
‘Simply
Dylan endeavours to focus on detail and colour performing some of
Dylan’s more challenging songs; bringing his lyrical content and
story-telling alive.”
