Bob Dylan will set off on his third annual tour of U.S. minor league baseball stadiums beginning Aug. 12 in Comstock Park, Mich. Tickets begin going on sale July 8 for some shows; one child under 12 will be admitted free of charge with each adult ticket holder.
Dylan will be supported on the road by guitarists Jimmie Vaughan and Junior Brown, as well as Elana Janes and the Continental Two. As previously reported, the tour will coincide with Aug. 29 release of a new Dylan studio album, “Modern Times.”
In related news, a baseball-themed episode from Dylan’s weekly XM Satellite Radio show “Theme Time Radio Hour” has been added to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library archive. On the show, Dylan sang an a cappella rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and played several iconic radio snippets from vintage baseball broadcasts.
