feinstein-40_750x.jpg

Revisit a journey through London in Bob Dylan's footsteps, ahead of the singer's 82nd birthday next week.

Published in 2021, Bob Dylan in London: Troubadour Tales is both a guide to and history of the impact of London on Dylan, and the lasting legacy of Bob Dylan on the London music scene. The book allows readers to experience Dylan’s London and follow in his footsteps to places such as the King and Queen pub (the first venue that Dylan performed at in London), the Savoy hotel, and Camden Town. Host Devon Strolovitch revisits a conversation with co-author Jackie Lees this Sunday, May 21 at 4 pm.

Devon Strolovitch studied medieval Judeo-Portuguese manuscripts and earned a PhD in Linguistics from Cornell University before coming to KALW. He is the Senior Producer of Philosophy Talk, and since 2007 has hosted Fog City Blues, the weekly digest of Blues in the Bay Area and beyond.
