Bob Dylan Tribute coming to WCC

“Chrome Horse: The Bob Dylan Tribute” is a chronological trip through the career of Bob Dylan. Performed with sincerity, vintage style and engaging in-character presentation. No cheat sheets, no iPads. This is a time-capsule recreation. Mark your calendars for 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, for this second show of WCC’s 2025-26 “Locals and Legends” series.

Texas-based veteran musician Drew Gabbert has set the table and is serving up an authentic Dylan experience with a repertoire that spans six decades of material.

Gabbert offers up a mysterious ability to embody the many voices of Dylan with accuracy and reverence – as if singing through a hall of mirrors. Close your eyes and you’ll be thoughtfully carried through the young man in old man’s clothes, drifting past the country croon and held firmly by the elder statesman. These eras with their ancient muses are captured by Gabbert fluently.

It must be said, by deliberately eschewing present day technology and electronics, the musical presentation remains intact and precise. Visually, the performance is striking – musically, the performance is unmatched.

Tickets are $25 for adults with free admission for students (high school and younger). Tickets are available at warrenculturalcenter.com or at the door.
