Bob Dylan tribute does justice

Dylanesque returns to Healesville.

One of Healesville’s finest exports, Jeff Jenkins, is returning for a hometown gig, ready to rock The Memo on Saturday 21 October.
Jenkins will bring his hugely popular show DYLANesque to the region in a special one-off concert.
So, why not enjoy a brilliant Saturday night out, with a more than two-hour narrated concert that explores the life, times and music of one of the 20th century’s most lauded songwriters, Bob Dylan.
The much-loved show has earned high praise from the best in the industry, including top Australian music journalist Glenn A Baker, who saw the show in Sydney recently.
He said the show really struck a chord with him.
“Jeff Jenkins not only sounds like ‘His Bobness’, but he understands him, even inhabits him,” he wrote in a review of the show.
“DYLANesque was one of the most engaging and enjoyable couple of hours I’ve spend in ages.”
Also, ABC radio listeners will recall Lindy Burns saying on air how Jeff Jenkins sounds uncannily like Bob and eerily similar, and what a remarkably talented band he’s playing with.
It’s one of those shows that ticks all the boxes – it’s a biography of Dylan’s life from when he started out as a young 19-year-old busking in New York, exploring his various relationships, his constant reinvention of himself, plus it has all the big hits that gets the audience singing along.
The show includes great story telling with a good dose of tongue in cheek humour, and it has that feel good factor – audiences come away on a high.
Jenkins said, “It’s a good feeling to be turning people on to Dylan, people who before seeing the show might have felt they weren’t fans of his. It’s such an accessible show, and I love feeling we’re spreading the word, the word according to Bob.”
The show starts at 7.30pm, so grab your tickets early to get the best seats.
