Regardless of one's opinion about Bob Dylan's voice and musicianship, he is an undisputed legend with an extensive catalog of classic songs that continue to be covered by just about every artist in every genre on this planet. In the wake of "A Complete Unknown," the impressive new movie about Dylan, the legend has reached new heights with a new audience, and everybody wants a piece of the Dylan pie, including us!
We are Team Derringer (Laura, Alton, and Paul) of Derringer Discoveries. In this episode, we are joined by recording artist Colm Gavin of Dublin, Ireland, who is on tour with Dean Friedman (see EP74).
The Gavin/Friedman tour will feature a concert at the Triad Theatre in New York City on March 22, 2025. One week later, on March 29, Dean Friedman will join Team Derringer at the Derringer Discoveries' Park Street Coffee House in Charlottesville, VA (US). See below for ticket information.

Colm and Team Derringer share their thoughts on "A Complete Unknown," and we put Gavin on the spot not once, but twice! How does Gavin rate Dylan on a scale of 1 to 10? And what are his feelings about the movie? Tune in and discover!
