BOB DYLAN’S BIRTHDAY BASH 2026 A SMASHING SUCCESS RAISING MORE THAN $500 FOR HALL OF FAME: The 27th Annual Bob Dylan Night Revival presented at Patrick's Pub on the evening of May 16 by the Dylan Night Committee was a great success raising $525.00 for the benefit of the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame (RIMHOF).
In addition to celebrating the 27th edition of Dylan Night, the presentation and performances made special note of the “many” sides of Bob Dylan. Through the years when people get Dylan tickets or are preparing to give the first spin to a new Dylan album they often wonder which Bob they’re going to get. For this year’s show, the audience got a taste of them all and was treated to a career-spanning set of some of his greatest and most beloved songs thanks to inspired performances by the 27th edition of the Dylan Revival Band and a host of acoustic performers.
The Board of Directors would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who made this possible: our sponsors Jim McGetrick and the Dylan Night Committee and Patrick Griffin and the always wonderful folks at Patrick’s Pub, as well as musical director Richard Ribb who put together another fabulous lineup for the 2026 version of the Dylan Revival Band featuring John Larson, Rick Couto, Bill Jette, Scott Doggett and John Rufo plus special guests Brandon Catarina, Matt Mysliwicz, Pat Johnson and Charles Green.
