Late last year, I was part of the outgoing committee announcing that Dylan Days in Hibbing, Minnesota, would be put on indefinite hiatus until new leadership stepped up to take over. After 12 years of working on the annual event, a confluence of personal factors — including the demands of my growing radio show — prevented us from continuing. Meantime, we worked with the organizers of the Duluth Dylan Festival to ensure that some of our most precious traditions carried on.

This week, the Duluth Dylan Festival announced their lineup for their 2015 event, including the wonderful tradition of our Friday night singer/songwriter contest and the bus tour of Bobby Zimmerman’s favorite haunts in Hibbing.
