Happy Birthday Bob & Joe Neri

The Old Town Center for the Arts is very excited to announce that the 2026 edition of Joe Neri’s very popular annual Bob Dylan Birthday Concert will be on Saturday, May 16, 7:00PM. This will be the 21st anniversary of the show that Neri created in 2006, and this concert is sponsored by the Best Western Cottonwood Inn.

Bob Dylan, an American singer-songwriter, author, visual artist, Grammy winner, Academy Award winner, Nobel Prize laureate, and countless other accolades, is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters and musicians of all time. He has been a major figure in popular culture spanning the past 60+ years.

As is the custom and theme of these shows, this year’s concert will feature a variety of local and regional musicians, along with some special out-of-state guest performers.

Acoustic and spoken word performers include: Salt Miners (Mike McReynolds, Mark Gifford & Sandy Gifford), Christy Fisher, Tim & Paula Young, Gary Every, and The Root Doctors (Ray DeSylvester & Gary Morgan).

The Mystery Tramps, the official house band for our “Bob Bash,” are: Joe Neri, Larry Hill, Hutch Hutchinson, and Alan Albert, with special appearances by Suzie Schomaker and Ray DeSylvester.
