Following festival appearances this summer including Isle Of Wight, John O’Connell’s Simply Dylan will be back in 2020 for a brand new headline tour across the UK.
As straightforward as the title suggests: No frills, no gimmicks, no pretence; simply John O’Connell’s personal exploration and celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan.
It is the band’s precise playing and high energy renditions of Dylan’s work that has gone from a modest project recognising Bob Dylan’s 70th Birthday in 2011 to selling out the Cavern Club 6 times, receiving fantastic reviews from audiences across the UK and igniting a new wave of passion for one of the world’s most prodigious song writers.
John O’Connell, formerly of Groundpig, has had his name indelibly written in to the tapestry of Liverpool’s music scene, has collaborated with other highly reputable musicians to form his Dylan Band.
Tickets go on sale Friday 6th September at 10am

“…the night belonged to SIMPLY DYLAN and the genius of John O'Connell. Together, they marry the extraordinary range and beauty of Dylan's lyrics with a joyous and exuberant, celebratory sound.”

"I went to see Johnny O'Connell playing Simply Dylan at the Cavern Liverpool and it was absolutely stunning. Johnny is one of the most talented musicians I have come across and his Dylan set is effortlessly brilliant."
Peter Hooton, The Farm
“Simply Dylan … this guy is different, he’s not an impersonator, more an interpreter and an accomplished musician and singer to boot. “
