The Bob Dylan Center presents Red Dirt Boogie: A Concert Tribute to Jesse Ed Davis, featuring an exciting roster of former Davis collaborators including (in alphabetical order): Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and iconic singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, whose classic 1972 top-ten single “Doctor My Eyes” features Davis on lead guitar; three-term U.S. Poet Laureate and Dylan Center Artist-in-Residence Joy Harjo, who recorded with Davis in the early 1980s; members of The Grafitti Band (Ricky Eckstein, Gary Ray, Quiltman Sahme, Mark Shark, Billy Watts), who backed Davis and Native artist John Trudell on their acclaimed release “aka Grafitti Man” (named by Bob Dylan as one of his favorite albums); and Blues Hall of Fame member and four-time Grammy Award winner Taj Mahal, with whom Davis recorded and toured for many years. The performers will be joined by three additional musicians who played with Davis at different points throughout his career: Bob Glaub, Gary Gilmore and Garrett Ray.This one-night-only celebration of Davis’s expansive musicality and enduring impact will take place on Thursday, Feb. 6 at Tulsa Performing Arts Center. The concert is the major public program associated with the Bob Dylan Center’s “Jesse Ed Davis: Natural Anthem” exhibition, on view through April 27, 2025 and co-curated by featured artist Harjo and Davis scholar Douglas Miller, author of the recently released “Washita Love Child: The Rise of Indigenous Rock Star Jesse Ed Davis.”
