THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT
Barb Jungr may be the definitive performer of one of the great
musical icons of the twentieth century, Bob Dylan. In 2005 the BBC
hosted a Barbican concert to celebrate his work. In introducing
Jungr, Billy Braggdescribed her as “possibly our best interpreter of
Dylan’s songs”. He is not alone in this view, as Jungr has been
wowing audiences and critics worldwide with her astonishingly
powerful reinterpretations of this great songwriter’s work.
In the UK and New York she plays to packed houses and was recently
heralded in a feature about her work in the New York Times. Known
for her passionate singing, minimal and subtle arrangements and
great humor, and accompanied by the best pianists in New York and
the UK, Jungr has been hailed in the UK as being “tantalizingly close
to mass attention”.
“I just hope Dylan himself has a listen and starts writing for her
direct.” Observer
“Of all the new takes on Dylan, none is more essential than
Jungr’s.”
