About this Event

What can music do in a time of crisis? Where can we look for faith when our leaders serve only themselves? According to Dustin Lowman, the music of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen is a good place to start. From wide-eyed youth in a land of opportunity — “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” “Born To Run” — to thwarted strivers trying to forge a new way forward — “Prove It All Night," “Tangled Up In Blue” — to elder statesmen reflecting on life even as they journey further — “Long Walk Home,” “Mississippi” — the pair’s songs span the topical and the personal, the realistic and the absurd, the optimistic and the cynical, the deepest dark and the most radiant light.

In American Storytellers: Bob Dylan & Bruce Springsteen, singer/songwriter Dustin Lowman performs a wide array of the two trouabours’ material, from classics to deep cuts, reflecting all the while on where the songs came from, and what made them such powerful responses to crisis. As the most powerful Americans abandon American values, weaponize cynicism, and propagate misinformation, Dylan’s and Springsteen’s music reminds us where our faith should take root: American people, their stories, their minds, and their hearts.
