Ten Songs (Plus One or Two)

The Bob Dylan Center’s bimonthly members-only series of listening sessions strikes a dramatic crescendo in this final installment of 2026, with featured artists such as Blur, Spiritualized, Elliott Smith and The Waterboys reaching impossible heights in their quests for grand statements of universal harmony and emotional rescue. Center director Steven Jenkins will host this rousing session, indulging in some vintage ‘80s pop revelations but stopping just short of we-are-the-world homilies. Come for the anthemic choruses and ecstatic epiphanies, and stay for the blissed-out comedowns and ever-changing moods.
