The Songs Of Bob Dylan

Once dubbed “The Voice of His Generation” by the press, Bob Dylan turns 80 in 2021, and is the only songwriter ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. From the Civil Rights-era anthem “Blowing In The Wind” through “Like A Rolling Stone” — #1 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs List — to Grammies in 1980 for Best Gospel Recording and 1998 for Album Of The Year, to a #1 song in May 2020, he has remained at the top of popular music for six decades, and shows no signs of slowing down.

Join Rod MacDonald & The Humdingers for a fun and low-decibel tour through the lives, music and genius of this unique artist, as told in his songs.

Rod MacDonald, guitar, has 12 CDs of his songs, including 2018’s Beginning Again, as heard on WLRN’s Folk and Acoustic Music. He performs frequently in South Florida and throughout North America and Europe, and is a lifelong devotee of popular song. He has been an instructor with LLS since 2006.

Bill Meredith, drums, is the backbone of several Palm Beach County rock and roll bands, including Big Brass Bed and Illumination. He has toured throughout the US and Canada, and appears on more than a dozen CDs.

Brad Keller, keyboards, has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival and with Maynard Ferguson and the Ink Spots, is the jazz piano instructor at Palm Beach State College and has taught music in Palm Beach County public schools for twenty years. He is also the co-author of the “Jazz Cats” books used internationally to introduce young students to jazz.

Doug Lindsey, bass and vocals, has been playing in south Florida bands for 30 years.

John Smotherman, lead guitar, plays with Big Brass Bed, Illumination and several Palm Beach County bands. His exquisite solos caused the Palm Beach Post to label him one of the “Ten Magnificent Musicians of Palm Beach County.”
