When is Bob Dylan’s Birthday?
May 24, 1941
Have you ever played on Bob Dylan’s Birthday?
No, we never have. We always seem to miss it, so we are the Bob Dylan Belated Birthday Benefit Band.
What is a “benefit band”?
We play for the love and celebration of the music. We don’t want to personally profit from the art and music of Bob Dylan, so we founded the Bob Dylan Belated Birthday Benefit Band as a “benefit band” where all performance proceeds are donated to charity.

As a matter fact, we are working on acquiring 501c status.
Will you play a benefit show on my birthday/for my organization?
