Bob Dylan is still having guitarist issues. This past Friday, July 10, another new guitarist joined his live setup. Memphis-based rhythm & blues guitarist and vocalist J. Jad Tariq performed with Dylan's band in Cincinnati, Ohio at PNC Pavilion.
Tariq replaced Julian Lage, which makes sense considering that Lage had conflicting European tour dates scheduled this month. Chicago jazz and blues musician Joel Patterson was also there — he was enlisted at the end of last month, replacing Doug Lancio and filling in for Lage.
Dylan's next show is tonight in Pittsburgh, PA at Stage AE.
Another show, another surprise new guitarist. Memphis jump blues player Jad Tariq, who plays with Charlie Musselwhite, joins the Bob Dylan band in Cincinnati, replacing Julian Lage who's off in Europe.
