The Vogel presents BobFest on May 28th

originally published: 05/19/2026

(RED BANK, NJ) -- The Vogel presents BobFest on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 7:30pm. This is the music of Bob Dylan presented in the round Nashville style by John Cruz, Steve Delopoulos, Pat Guadagno, Renee Maskin, Rob Paparozzi, and Anne Hills.

From a modest beginning in a small café in Red Bank, NJ, Pat Guadagno has taken BobFest to theaters from San Diego to Nashville and always back home to NJ. For over 25 years, the series changes theme every year, from once performing 60 songs on Dylan’s 60th birthday to mesmerizing audiences last year with bootleg, rare, and alternative versions of songs from the poet’s vast catalog, always with world-class musicians. This year, to honor the Nobel Prize winner Guadagno joins five international award-winning Songwriters to tell their Stories and sing some Bob Dylan Songs – ‘In the Round-Nashville Style’.

Tickets start at $40 and are available for purchase online. The Vogel is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Nā Hōkū Hanohano and Grammy Award-winner John Cruz is featured in the Playing for Change Foundation videos supporting the global effort to create positive change through music and arts education. John’s music has been recorded by Jackson Brown and Jack Johnson, and his composition Island Style has become the official Hawaiian anthem.

Frontman for The Original Blues Brothers Band and Blood, Sweat, ‘N Tears, Rob Paparozzi has toured and recorded with everyone from B.B. King to Carole King, Dr. John to Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston to Dolly Parton. When the producers of the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” needed a harmonica coach for SAG ‘Best Actor’ Timothée Chalamet, they called on ‘The Honeydripper.’

American Songwriter Magazine called A&M Recording Artist Steve Delopoulos ”the first truly great writer of this century.” The Dove Award-winning songwriter/singer for the internationally renowned Burlap to Cashmere combines his Greek musical background with a New York attitude.

An award-winning songwriter with a stunning soprano tone has made Anne Hills one of contemporary folk music’s premiere vocalists. Her work with Tom Paxton, Bob Gibson, and Artie Traum will make her feel right at home at BobFest.

New Jersey Stage Magazine’s “2023 Songwriter of the Year,” Renee Maskin, is a vibrant force in the storied Asbury Park music scene. Her first BobFest gives us the opportunity so see her take on the music of one of her songwriting muses

Pat Guadagno’s critically acclaimed musical celebrations include Enjoy Every Sandwich (Warren Zevon), A Marvelous Night (Van Morrison), Heart of Saturday Night (Tom Waits), Souvenirs (John Prine), Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen), 100 Years of Hank (Hank Williams), and 20,000 Roads (Gram Parsons), delivering the music with the style, passion, and reverence that have become his trademark.
