The 84-year-old singer-songwriter has been revered for his impact on folk music in the ’60s, inspired by the likes of Woody Guthrie whom Dylan has claimed “was the true voice of the American spirit.”
However, Dylan went electric in 1965 and has gone on to release 40 albums, including 2023’s “Shadow Kingdom,” songs he wrote early on in his career. He has performed and recorded with artists across all genres of music, including Johnny Cash, The Band, Tom Petty and The Grateful Dead.
Dylan also won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, more than 10 Grammy Awards and an Oscar for his song “Things Have Changed” (for “Wonder Boys”). He has been bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, as well as a Pulitzer Price Special Citation.
His Wilmington show is part of a multi-city spring and summer tour, with other stops in North Carolina including Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater on July 28.
