We couldn't have been happier with the way Dylan Fest turned out. Not sure exactly how many people came out to Underbelly last Thursday, but it was probably around 300-400. The place was packed.
All of the artists were stellar. We had a wide range of styles and interpretations of Dylan's songs, and sent him up a rousing 72nd birthday from Jacksonville. The night closed with a group rendition of "I Shall Be Released." Thanks to everyone that participated. We're looking forward to next year.
Below are some photos, some video, and the setlist from the night. Thanks to Ansley Busch for taking almost all of these fine photos.
