In the last few days, Bob Dylan, the only songwriter with a Nobel Prize, announced his first US tour dates of 2018. Last year, it felt like he covered everywhere in the US, except the southeast. But four out of the first five dates announced are in that area. The Carolinas, Oklahoma, and Georgia will get to hear Bob play a show that will most likely consist of covers, and a few of his semi-hits.
But here’s the thing:
Oklahoma is in mid-October, while the others are November 3 and 4 for the Carolinas, November 7 for Georgia, and November 9 for another North Carolina show.
The man is no stranger to Florida, especially the Tampa/Clearwater area. He’s played sold out shows at Ruth Eckerd Hall in 2016 and 2015, along with a less recent co-headlining show with Willie Nelson at Bright House Field (now Spectrum Field) in 2005. So there’s always a chance that he’ll drop by, knowing that shows on his “Never Ending Tour” are practically back-to-back. No venues in Florida have confirmed him showing up, but at the beginning of each week, Ruth Eckerd announces a handful of new shows.
Maybe this week, Dylan will make the list.
