14th Annual Duluth Dylan Fest Schedule will be held May 21-26

Duluth, MN – The Bob Dylan Way Committee has finalized its schedule for the 2024 Duluth
Dylan Fest, the annual celebration of the Northland’s native son whose global significance was
affirmed by the Nobel Prize committee in 2016. The Fest will feature a range of events spanning

May 21 - 26 in conjunction with Bob Dylan’s 83rd birthday.

“Bob Dylan is undoubtedly one of the masters of American music, changing the way we create
and listen to popular music and establishing its importance on a world-wide scale,” said
Committee Chair Zane Bail. “We are proud of his northland roots and celebrate his artistic

achievements.”

A major highlight of the fest - as always - is the Bob Dylan Front Porch Birthday Party outside
the Duluth home where Dylan - born Robert Zimmerman - spent the first seven years of his life.
The event will feature opening remarks from Duluth Mayor Roger Reinert, live music from

songwriter and guitarist Greg Tiburzi and celebratory birthday cake.

“We always have a nice crowd outside the Dylan house that loves to sing “Happy Birthday,” said

Bail. The house is now owned by Dylan historian and collector Bill Pagel.

The full schedule is outlined below.

MY GREENWICH VILLAGE: Dave, Bob and Me By Terri Thal, Published by McNidder & Grace

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MY GREENWICH VILLAGE: Dave, Bob and Me

By Terri Thal, Published by McNidder & Grace

Terri Thal was very much part of the folk music world in 1960s Greenwich Village. Few people

know that she was 21-year-old Bob Dylan’s first manager prior to his contracts with Albert

Grossman and Columbia Records. She also managed musician Dave Van Ronk (then her

husband) and others, including Maggie and Terre Roche and The Holy Modal Rounders. She

tells us about this in her new book, My Greenwich Village: Dave, Bob and Me, published by

McNidder & Grace.

Terri Thal has two passions: folk music and social justice. Her book is a personal story of the

world of folk music in 1960s New York, written by a Jewish woman from Brooklyn who,

although not a musician, was an intrinsic part of this scene. Terri describes Greenwich Village as

a community that was supportive, musically exciting, and one in which people had fun. She tells

us what it was like to hang out in the Village coffee houses, to host folk singers like Tom Paxton

and Phil Ochs, who spent evenings at her apartment, and to be a manager. We hear her views of

the “old-left” socialist organizations she was close to or joined.

Terri later merged her social justice work with her professional work in not-for-profit agencies,

handling public relations and fundraising, then as executive director. She’s retired now, but

continues to do some writing and grant writing for not-for-profits, and does environmental and

criminal justice reform work as a volunteer. Terri is an avid reader, writer and editor.

Greil Marcus has described Thal’s book as having “…a voice so full of vehemence it makes

everything interesting.” (Substack, September 18, 2023)
