TNBT played the songs each had co-written to Bob Dylan lyrics discovered in Dylan’s upstate New York home and some tunes got multiple renditions, proving the diversity of the talented musicians assembled for the evening.

The new album by TNBT was produced by T Bone Burnett, and is called Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes.
This has to be one of the most unique and fun shows any of us have attended. The friendship among the musicians was remarkable and we couldn’t help but notice their egos didn’t get in the way.
It was an interesting way to see each of these musical leaders from different bands working together on songs that Bob Dylan wrote but never finished.
We particularly liked the unplugged “Card Shark,” and “Kansas City.”
For the crowd that waited in line, it was time well spent and a memorable evening.
