Once billed as “the number one Bob Dylan fan in the country,” now self-identifying as “an aging enthusiast,” Bobby recently left his bread-truck home in rural Manitoba to begin his mission in Toronto with a riveting tribute to Mr. Dylan, the 2016 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Bobby is joined on stage by an incredible line-up of award-winning musicians.
Years ago, Bobby Jones presented a heartfelt reflection on Bob Dylan and his music with Heart of Mine, a theatrical musical concert first presented to sold-out houses at the Toronto Fringe Festival, then again at the Bathurst Street Theatre.
In his new offering, On a Night Like This , Bobby performs and reflects on the vast repertoire spanning Dylan’s almost 60-year career. By chronicling the impact of the Nobel Prize-winners’ work, Bobby wants to help the insights and gifts of the songs impact audience members directly. Dylan’s music seems to have the capacity to bind people together in a way that is unique and enduring across generations.
As he takes audiences on a journey through a bittersweet mingling of loss and redemption, Mr. Jones struggles to understand Mr. Dylan’s world-altering music. Moving beyond nostalgia, the evening explores the power of Dylan’s songs to deliver listeners to significant moments in their lives both joyful and painful. In Bobby’s words, “these songs can be umbilical cords to the past, like conduits delivering previous incarnations of ourselves.”
(Bobby Jones may bear a remarkable resemblance to 6-times Chalmers award-winning Toronto playwright Robert Morgan, however, although Bobby may be far more unknown, he is unquestionably far less unremarkable.
