DYLAN AND DYLAN
Dylan Thomas and Bob Dylan:
a moving blend of their works
Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas are two of the best-known and highly respected voices of the twentieth century: two artists, related by name and attitude, each with a gift for surprising, penetrating, and beautiful language. This mysterious and powerful show features the talents of Taelen Thomas, Steve Mortensen, and Richard Rosen, presenting Dylan & Dylan's distinctive rhythms and attitudes toward the pulse and passions of life, and the realities of our times. The range of themes in this show is rich: youth, death, the dreams of pigs, lust, love, war and "Rage, rage against the dying of the light." Featured compositions are FOREVER YOUNG, FERN HILL, WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN, and selections from UNDER MILK WOOD.
Master of the harmonica Richard Rosen, of Carmel Valley, has been playing Bob Dylan's songs for decades. Taelen Thomas, a poetical showman, has been performing works of Dylan Thomas since 1983, sometimes even daring to imitate, admiringly, the rolling, resonant Welsh thunder of the man's fabled voice. Steve Mortensen, a versatile singer/songwriter known for his own wordsmithing and simple yet elegant guitar playing, draws on his years as a Bob Dylan aficionado to round out the trio.
