Celebrating Joan Baez: A Musical Tribute

503 Social Club is proud to celebrate the amazing talent of Joan Baez, American folk singer, songwriter, and activist, known for her distinctive vocal style. Her contemporary folk music often includes songs about social justice and civil rights. She was one of the first major artists to record the songs of Bob Dylan in the early 1960s. At that time, Baez was already an internationally celebrated artist and did much to popularize his early songwriting efforts. Her tumultuous relationship with Dylan later became the subject of songs from both and generated much public speculation. Joan Baez is experiencing a resurgence, in part, due to a renewed interest in her activism and music in the context of current social and political issues. Her legacy as a folk music pioneer and a voice for social justice is also being recognized and celebrated. Furthermore, her long-lasting impact on the music industry, particularly her influence on Bob Dylan, continues to be highlighted. Some of the recent releases bringing Joan back into the spotlight is the Dylan bio pic, “A Complete Unknown”, the documentary, “I Am A Noise,” recently released book of poems, “When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance,” and book of drawings, “Am I Pretty When I Fly?: An Album of Upside Down Drawings.” The evening at 503 Social Club will feature performances of Baez’s music by Jaime Della Fave, Sylvana Joyce, Wendy Joyner, Ereni Sevasti, and Rebecca Turner, with special guests Jeff Surawski and Dave Calamoneri. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at: https://503socialclub-CelebratingJoanBaez.eventbrite.com. Seating is limited, so it is suggested purchasing in advance. Show starts at 7:30pm (Doors at 7pm)
