Bob Dylan continues to switch up his band. As previously reported, jazz guitarist Julian Lage has been playing with the group ever since a performance at the Santa Barbara Bowl on June 17. Lage stepped in for Doug Lancio, who had been on the road with the Rough and Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour since it kicked off in November of 2021. However, Lage’s tenure with Dylan appeared to be short-lived from the start–or at least contain one notable conflict–since the guitarist had a previously scheduled show at Brooklyn, NY’s National Sawdust yesterday.
Spring '89 is still running hot when the band arrives at The Mecca for two unforgettable nights: 4/15 and 4/16. Curated by David Lemieux and mastered by David Glasser, both shows are now streaming in Hi-Res on Play Dead.

"At the end of the journey, the place you were destined for all along isn't even a place, it's a state of mind: Graceland Way," Davis says. Mikaela Davis has been quietly building one of the more distinctive catalogs in contemporary American music, bringing the harp out of the concert hall and into the dirt and dust of rock and roll.
