Crossings brings "Dylan, Under the Covers" — another fabulous Rockumentary by Justin Ploof and the Throwbacks — to Zumbrota's State Theatre on Saturday, October 19, at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door, and can be purchased online or by calling 507-732-7616. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
Crossings first brought in the tribute band to perform Creedence Clearwater Revival songs last November, to a rousing response. The group presents its signature “rockumentary” show, complete with vintage footage and brief narration to accompany the music of legendary artists.
One of the most prolific songwriters in history, Dylan would craft some of the most iconic anthems of the 20th Century. From his songbook, countless groups and artists would transform one poet's vision into some of pop music's most beloved and timeless classics.
Many of Dylan’s most widely known songs date from the 1960s and seemed not only to chronicle, but sometimes presage the events of the revolutionary decade. While he performed with his strangely compelling nasal tone, many of Dylan’s songs became hits for other groups. The Throwbacks remain true to that tradition and will bring numerous guest artists onstage to perform as The Byrds, Manfred Mann, The Turtles, Johnny Cash, Peter, Paul & Mary, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, George Harrison and more.
The core group, Justin Ploof, Jason Ploof, and Dan Ploof, have a long history of professional music experience and have shared the stage with the likes of Soul Asylum, Bobby Vee, Joan Jett, and Jessie Lang! Their incredible attention to detail and quality of musicianship will wow audiences from the first chord. They work to emulate the songs the way the artists meant for them to be performed.
The State Theatre is located at 96 East 4th Street in Zumbrota. For more information call 507-732-5210.
