Following their runaway success
tribute shows, Johnny Cash; Bruce Springsteen and most recently their Paul Simon ‘Road To Graceland
production, The Black Lapels, one of Durban’s iconic staples in the world of
live entertainment, are excited to add to their stable of shows their latest
offering: The Bob Dylan Tribute.
This much anticipated show will run at
Rhumbelow Theatre in Durban from June 2 to 4. It will feature a fresh line-up
showcasing one of Durban’s hidden talents and newcomer to The Rhumbelow, Cornel
Meyer as the frontman, with Chris Melling on drums and percussion. With his
stark and edgy voice, Meyer, captures the iconic sound of Dylan perfectly.
The duo will play alongside Rhumbelow
veterans Rob Warren and Garth Warren as we see The Black Lapels taking up the
role of producer as they pay tribute to the Pulitzer prize recipient, Bob
Dylan.
Bob Dylan, who needs no introduction,
became the voice of his generation and has been influential in popular music
and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates
from the 1960’s, when his songs chronicled social unrest. Early songs such as Blowing in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changing became
anthems for the Civil Rights Movement and Anti-War Movement. Leaving behind his
initial base in the American folk music revival, his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone recorded in 1965,
enlarged his range of popular music.
This intimate and nostalgic performance
will feature all favourite Dylan hits including Blowing In The Wind; Mr Tambourine Man; Times They Are A-Changing; Knocking
On Heavens Door; Hurricane; Shelter From The Storm; Rainy Day Women; Like A
Rolling Stone and many more.
Shows
take place on June 2 and 3 at 20h00 and on June 4 at 14h00 and 18h30. The venue
opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner.
