Last night, the Cascadia chapter of Bob Dylan’s current tour picked up at McMenamins’ Edgefield in Troutdale, Ore. After seemingly finding a setlist sweet spot during his early spring appearances, sticking to the same positioning of tunes night after night, the musician drew outside the lines during his Thursday show, which was located outside the perimeter of Portland, Ore., by introducing a new song into his live repertoire: Basement Tapes deepcut “Baby, Won’t You Be My Baby.”

Jesse Welles has arrived at his ancestral home, at least musically. It’s a hot, not-quite-muggy early June evening and the 33-year-old, Ozark, Ark.-bred folk singer is standing in New York’s Washington Square Park preparing for a pop-up show, a few days before the release of his most recent album of politically charged songs, Masks Off. Washington Square Park has long been a Mecca for free thinkers and counter-culture types and many of Welles’ musical heroes got their start congregating just a few feet away.
