Tomorrow night, 60 musicians from around the Northfield area will gather together at Armory Square to perform and raise funds for the Northfield Fine Arts Boosters (NFAB). The Fine Arts Boosters is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the arts education in the Northfield Public Schools. Musicians will be performing the music of Bob Dylan. Event organizer and local musician Ray Coudret says that they have put on 5 tribute shows previously and that they have raised $16,000 from all of the past shows. Here’s Coudret on KYMN’s ArtZany:
“I did a little bit more calculations: 17 groups, 60 musicians, 46 songs. It’s a really big undertaking to move all those people on and off. We have a lot of folks are just coming with such a great attitude. Our musicians that give to this and give their time, they’re really on board with this because it’s just a it’s a cool community event.” – Northfield Musician Ray Coudret on ArtZany
A Complete Unknown, the new movie about Bob Dylan, Coudret says was the inspiration for the tribute concert:
“It’s been on my mind actually, as soon as this movie was announced, it was obvious who we were going to do this With this year. So it’s been about two years that I’ve known that we would do this.” – Northfield Musician Ray Coudret on ArtZany

The event starts Saturday evening at Armory Square, doors open at 5pm and the music begins at 6pm and goes until 10pm. There is a suggested donation of $20 at the door. The group hopes to raise $4,000 from the performance.
