The New Original Vagabonds

There’s nothing like a one-off show cooked up by project-hungry collaborators. Here, an eclectic array of Madison musicians gather for one night only to perform two sets of Bob Dylan material sampling from his 60-plus years of compositions. The band includes Ian Alderman (Annie & the Oakies), Jeff Kunkle (The Moonboot), Colin Bazsali (Cajun Strangers), Matt Nafranowicz (North Country Drifters), and Liz Stattelman-Scanlan (Evan Murdock & the Imperfect Strangers)…with surprise guests from still other bands!

media release: For one night only, the New Original Vagabonds, an all-star ensemble of Madison musicians, will take the stage at the Harmony Bar to celebrate Bob Dylan’s genius with two sets of the bard’s music on the occasion of his 84th birthday. The show will take place on Saturday, May 24, starting at 9:00.

The core band, comprised of members of several of Madison’s most enduring, well-loved bands, is made up of Ian Alderman (Annie & the Oakies, Sorry Mountain, the Oak Street Ramblers), Colin Bazali (the Cajun Strangers, the Barley Brothers), Jeff Kunkle (Annie & the Oakies, The Moonboot, the Cajun Strangers, the Oak Street Ramblers), Matt Nafranowicz (the North Country Drifters), and Liz Stattelman-Scanlan (Evan Murdock & the Imperfect Strangers, the Oak Street Ramblers).

They will perform two sets--  one acoustic, one electric-- of deep cuts and popular favorites spanning 63 years of Dylan’s catalogue. The New Original Vagabonds will be joined onstage by a wide array of guest musicians to help plumb the full breadth and depth of Dylan’s incredibly eclectic catalogue.

You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but you do need to be at the Harmony on 5/24/25 to be part of what promises  to be a very memorable night.
