Going Electric: The Million Dollar Bashers
The Bob Dylan Center will celebrate its newest exhibition Going Electric: Bob Dylan ’65, presented by Founding Members Bob and Debbie Russell, on Saturday, July 26, with two special performances by The Million Dollar Bashers, an ad hoc supergroup featuring Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth; John Doe of X; Nels Cline and Mikael Jorgensen of Wilco; Ethan Miller of Howlin Rain; singer-songwriter Sunny War; three-time U.S. Poet Laureate and Bob Dylan Center artist-in-residence Joy Harjo, accompanied by Doug Keith; dream-pop duo Dean & Britta of Luna; singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock; and singer-songwriter Emma Swift. Ranaldo will serve as musical director for the evening.
The name “Million Dollar Bashers” is a nod to the musicians, including Ranaldo, Shelley and Doe, who played on the soundtrack to the 2006 Todd Haynes-directed Dylan biopic “I’m Not There.” Dylan first recorded the song “Million Dollar Bash” with The Band in 1967 and officially released it as part of the “Basement Tapes” collection in 1975. The evening’s set list will highlight Dylan songs from 1965, when he shocked fans at the annual Newport Folk Festival by playing an electrified rock-and-roll set with members of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The same year saw the release of Dylan’s landmark albums “Bringing It All Back Home” and “Highway 61 Revisited.”
