The Gallery at Flat Rock is excited to present an evening of songs and spoken word surrounding the day in 1964 when the 22-year-old Bob Dylan arrived unannounced and knocked on Carl Sandburg’s door at Connemara in Flat Rock.
The Gathering Dark (Josh Dunkin and Steven DuRose) will share an evening of “wild speculation” surrounding the impromptu meeting of the young poet and troubadour and the celebrated octogenarian poet and Lincoln biographer. The show will feature the songs and poems of both Dylan and Sandburg as well as the story of how their meeting fits into the context of American cultural history. “In the lexicon of American literary giants, Dylan and Sandburg tower above the flock. Why then is the story of their meeting oft-overlooked?” ask Dunkin and DuRose. Performing as Hendersonville-based group The Gathering Dark, the two promise to provide insight into the matter.
