Joan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan

Landmark on Main Street presents Joan Osborne in concert at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater on Friday, June 23. Tickets are on sale now to Friends of Landmark and to the general public on Friday, February 17.

This is a return appearance by Ms. Osborne, whose previous shows at Landmark sold out. This time she's touring her new release, Joan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan.

Joan Osborne has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the great voices of her generation - both a commanding, passionate performer and a frank, emotionally evocative songwriter. A multi-platinum selling recording artist and seven-time Grammy nominee, the soulful vocalist is a highly sought-after collaborator and guest performer who has performed alongside many notable artists, including Bob Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti, Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris, Taj Mahal, and Mavis Staples to name a few.

Osborne is widely known for her performance in the Grammy Award-winning documentary Standing in The Shadows of Motown which received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Osborne's album, Bring It On Home, reminded the singer of what music is all about.

"There's a texture and richness to these songs that singers don't have right away, that I didn't have when I started out," Osborne says. "But the more I've done this, the more tone and depth I've developed. This was the time. These songs, they're a remedy-they get me out of my head. These songs put the music back in my heart and my soul."

Osborne's solo recording, Love and Hate, is one of the most personally-charged, creatively ambitious efforts of her two-decades-plus recording career.

"I feel like each song on this album talks about a different aspect of love," she says. "Love isn't just one thing; it encompasses faith, passion, power struggles, humor, an- guish, spirituality, lust, anger, everything on that spectrum...so I tried to come up with songs that were about different aspects of this continuum. This record is like the novel that sat in the author's drawer for 50 years...more than any record I've ever done, it felt like it needed the time to change and evolve and become what it was supposed to be."
