Critically Acclaimed Live Performer And Interpreter Of Bob Dylan’s Music, Barb Junger Comes To Liverpool This April.

Barb Jungr has wowed audiences and critics worldwide with her powerful reinterpretations of Bob Dylan’s work. Known for her passionate singing, minimal and subtle arrangements, and great humour, Barb is the definitive performer of one of the great musical icons of the 20th century, Bob Dylan.

On April 25th in Liverpool, Barb starts a short U.K. tour with her show  Barb Jungr sings Bob Dylan Every Grain of Sand.  Followed by shows in Stoke By Nayland (April 27), London’s Live At Zedel (May 4th), Brighton Komedia (May 9th) and Norwich Adnams Speilgeltent (May 22nd) On all dates except Brighton, when Simon Wallace will be her pianist, she will be accompanied by Jenny Carr on piano

Variously described by critics as magnificent, mesmerizing and magical, Barb Jungr has built a formidable reputation as an international live performer and recording artiste. She has perfected the art of interpretation to such a level, that listeners are often astonished to discover that well-known songs that they thought they knew, have been wonderfully transformed and very often elevated when Barb weaves her magic spell.

Barb has attracted particular acclaim for her work on the songs of Bob Dylan, which produced two critically acclaimed albums – Hard Rain and Every Grain of Sand and a series of sell-out, award-winning transatlantic shows.

Every Grain of Sand, which was re-released in 2017, was Barb’s first album of Bob Dylan songs and has deservedly become a cult classic winning her a dedicated fan base from around the world.  It was recognized by celebrated author Will Friedwald with a dedicated chapter in his book “The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums”, which was published last year.  “‘A song can tell a story, or it can paint a picture, it can convey images, it can communicate ideas— and Jungr, like Dylan, is above all a master communicator.’ –Will Friedwald

The album even boasts celebrity fans including Julian Clary, Alexei Sayle and Maggie Steed, with Jeremy Irons naming it as one of the must-have albums on B.B.C. Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.

“The Dylan songs I sing, are the ones that would just not let go,” says Barb ‘songs of love and spiritual longing, beautifully crafted and profoundly moving”

Tickets for the One Night Only performance at the Liverpool Royal Court Studio on April 25th are on sale from the theatre’s Box office.
