Former site of GERDE'S FOLK CITY in Greenwich Village host to FREEWHEELIN' AT 50 concert

 To celebrate the album’s 50th birthday, a baker’s dozen of contemporary folk singers will perform the album’s 13 songs (and more) in a special concert on May 21 at the Village Underground — a most fitting venue, because 130 West 3rd was the second site of Gerde’s Folk City, the club that launched Dylan’s career. Also fitting: Bob Porco, grandson of the legendary Mike Porco (who founded Gerde’s and booked Dylan to his first paid New York gigs) is producing the celebration.

FREEWHEELIN' 50TH ANNIVERSARY concert May 21

One more show to round out the yearlong Friends of Mike Porco series. The first 14 were at the famous Gaslight.

Twelve musician friends, 13 songs. Entire album played before your eyes.

The venue for May 21 is the very same basement of the Folk City from the 1970s and 80s. 

5 bucks. Can't go wrong.
