Dorchester Arts is thrilled to welcome back Michael Gray, a leading authority on Bob Dylan and author of Song & Dance Man, The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, and Outtakes On Bob Dylan. In his first live appearance of 2026, Gray explores whether Dylan, now 84, is seen as merely a historical figure by younger generations, and why his legacy still matters. Renowned for his engaging, spontaneous talks, Gray has spoken at top universities and festivals across Europe and North America. His events offer fresh, entertaining insights into Dylan’s artistry—never dry, always dynamic. Don’t miss this thought-provoking evening with a true pioneer.
