The Bob Cats
A Rock 'n' Roll Salute to Bob Dylan
The spirit of Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder band lives on through The Bob Cats. Based in Woodstock, NY, where Dylan and The Band lived and forged their explosive folk-rock sound, The Bob Cats bring to life the rock ’n’ roll spirit of the Dylan classics, with passion and authenticity.
After performing together in various configurations at the Woodstock Bob Dylan Birthday Celebrations, The Bob Cats formed officially in 2021, quickly becoming a regular attraction in Woodstock and beyond – packing rooms with enthusiastic audiences of locals and tourists.
Legendary rock drummer Jerry Marotta propels The Bob Cats with his undeniable groove, while life-long Dylan interpreters Doug Yoel and Kyle Esposito dig deep into the lyric and vocal performance of these classic tunes. Kyle, the band’s resident guitar hero, along with pedal steel and slide guitar master Rob Stein (The Mammals), bring the fireworks and the dreaminess to the music. Bruce Milner (Every Mother’s Son) plays piano and organ, and sings beautifully in the group, while Chuck Cornelis (Chris Isaak) lays down an authoritative bass groove.
Together, The Bob Cats explore Dylan’s best loved tunes and deep cuts, and all of the sonic variations that made Bob’s concerts so engaging throughout the decades.
Bottom line – The Bob Cats satisfy with their rock ’n’ roll celebration of Bob Dylan!
