Blow In The Wind With Bob Dylan

Date: Monday, November 10

Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan is performing at the Cadillac Palace Theatre on N. Milwaukee Avenue this Monday. Dylan has spent the last 50+ years in the music industry and has sold over 100 million records worldwide. Throughout the last half century, this folk music icon has won 10 Grammys, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Dylan's music is filled with emotion, often making social commentary on issues that other artists have shied away from. Songs like "Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changing" served as anti-war anthems while helping to bring civil rights issues mainstream in the 1960's. The concert starts at 8:00 p.m. and tickets start at $67.
