Joe's 115th Dream at Big Ears Knoxville


Well the last I heard of Arab he was stuck on the side of a whale
That was married to the deputy sheriff of the jail


During Big Ears festival in Knoxville (26/03 - 29/03) next spring, Joe will follow Bob Dylan's world and bring us his own 115th Dream.

The 115th dream is a song by Dylan in which we follow a surreal dream about a sailor in service of 'Captain Arab' . The (also) satirical song takes us on a voyage through America, with references such as Moby Dick, the discovery of America,...

Knowing this, that evening could go all directions, but if it will be as fun as Bob's lyrics, you will have a great night !

Big Ears itself states it has asked Joe to put together a Dream band. Joe assembled his band and he wil be performing with Jason Moran, Marc Ribot, Jay Bellerose, David Piltch and Levon henry.

Joe names it his 115th Dream... I'll leave you with your own conclusions for that one...

The exact date of Joe's show has not been anounced yet, but I assume it will be in the beginning of the festival, since Jason Moran (according to his itineray) is playing over here in Belgium  March 29.

The last time Joe played at Big Ears was also together with Marc Ribot. Joe also wrote an essay for a photobook on the festival. A book made by Kate Joyce. I ordered it last year. It's a must have if you love music, festivals and photography, even if you've never been specifically to Big Ears (like me).



Anyway, I already love the idea : bring it to Europe !
Greetings,
Stefan.
