The final event in the Honey Brook Borough Concerts in the Park series will take place on Sunday, Sept. 26, when the band Highway 61 Revival will be featured from 5 to 7:30 p.m. In lieu of an admission fee, attendees are asked to bring nonperishable food items for donation to the Honey Brook Food Pantry.

Highway 61 Revival is a group of Philadelphia-based musicians who pay tribute to one of their favorite songwriters - Bob Dylan. However, concert attendees do not have to be Dylan fans to attend. In fact, according to band member Paul Wilkinson, the audience will be familiar with the tunes the band will perform, which were written by Dylan, a prolific songwriter.

"Whether you know it or not, Bob Dylan wrote songs made famous by other people," said Wilkinson. "(He wrote) everything from 'Blowin' in the Wind,' which was done by Peter, Paul and Mary, to 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' that was a was a big hit by Guns N' Roses. Jimi Hendrix played 'All Along the Watchtower' and The Byrds played 'Mr. Tambourine Man,' and Bob wrote those. He wrote 'Make You Feel My Love," by Adele."

In addition to Wilkinson on guitar, the band consists of Daniel Bower on drums, Brad Hinton on guitar and lap steel, Tim Celfo on bass and Ben Smith on keyboards. All of the band members play in other groups, but they come together to perform the Dylan tribute.

"Over the years, being part of the same music community, we talked about music, and Bob Dylan came up," Wilkinson explained. "Six or seven years ago we started doing an annual show at the Kennett Flash in Kennett Square for (Dylan's) birthday. We named the band Highway 61 Revival and started doing a couple of extra shows throughout the year."

Wilkinson said audiences will enjoy singing along during the concert and will appreciate the musicianship of the band members. "There is a familiarity there. Beyond that, if you don't know the songs, it's great group of musicians playing bluesy rock 'n' roll with vocal harmonies," he said. "Some people will start singing along and Bob Dylan fans will get surprised at which songs we are playing because there are so many. He has written over 500 songs, so we will try to feature a bunch of them (that) Sunday. We also pull in some deeper cuts that people might not know but they will also enjoy."

Wilkinson noted that Dylan continues to be an active working musician at the age of 80. "He just put out a record in 2020," he noted, adding, "(Dylan) won the Nobel Prize for literature."
