One of popular music’s most influential artists, Mr. Dylan has sold more than 125 million records worldwide and built a body of work that includes some of the most enduring songs in modern culture. He has released more than 50 albums and written more than 600 songs, including “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Like a Rolling Stone,” “All Along the Watchtower,” “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” and “Make You Feel My Love.”
Mr. Dylan’s contributions have been recognized with many of the world’s highest honors, including the Nobel Prize for Literature (2016), the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2012), and 10 Grammy Awards.
He is also widely celebrated for his live performances, with a touring legacy that stretches from early Greenwich Village clubs to decades of major concerts and international tours.
The March 31 performance will mark Mr. Dylan’s third appearance at Emens Auditorium. He previously performed at Emens on April 29, 1997, and Nov. 2, 2019.
“Bob Dylan’s influence on music and culture is immeasurable,” said Dr. Seth Beckman, dean of Ball State’s College of Fine Arts. “Across more than six decades, he has continually challenged audiences and artists alike—reshaping popular music, redefining what songwriting can be, and proving that creative evolution is essential to lasting impact. Welcoming Bob Dylan back to Emens Auditorium is a powerful moment for our campus and our community.”
