Solid Rock Show Weds 10 May 2023 7-9pm.

Written by on 7th May 2023


The Solid Rock Show this week is on Wednesday evening from 7pm and the show will feature an interview with K.G. Miles about his latest collaborative work titled Bob Dylan in Minnesota: Troubadour Tales From Duluth, Hibbing and Dinkytown published by McNidder & Grace. The book was released recently on 26th April 2023.

Rock show host Steve Ashwell first met Keith Miles and Jackie Lees during lockdown in 2020 to talk about the first in the Troubador Tales series based on London. Keith returns to talk about the fourth book in the series about Bob Dylan. Keith collaborates on this occasion with a musician and TV host (Paul Metsa), a resident and promoter of the Duluth Dylan Fest (Ed Newman), a concert promoter in Minnesota (Marc Percansky) and a fellow Dylan author (Matt Steichen).

Bob Dylan was born in Duluth in Minnesota, grew up in Hibbing, Minnesota and cut his musical teeth in the folk scene of Dinkytown, Minnesota. The book brings together wonderful stories from each of these key locations and provides detailed information about the roots and the early life of Bob Dylan. True to the other titles in the series, the book is an easy read and no heavy academic tome.

Join Steve and Keith as they chat about the book and some of stories and people it reveals. Solid Rock Show Weds 10 May 2023 7-9pm.
