Dylan in Cincinnati takes a fresh approach to Bob Dylan's performance art by asking what happens when we focus on a single city across six decades.

When we think of Dylan in concert, we imagine Newport, New York, or London. But most of his shows were in places far from the spotlight--venues largely ignored by music critics and scholars. Cincinnati, a city with little fanfare in the heart of the American Midwest, becomes an ideal site for study. Its concerts and bootleg recordings tell a story of reinvention night after night, year after year.

This history requires planting a shovel in one locale and digging down, layer after layer. What emerges is a portrait of Dylan as a restless itinerant artist who never abandoned audiences in flyover states. In fact, some of his strongest performances were given there. By recovering these overlooked shows, Dylan in Cincinnati documents not only the history of one city's concerts but also the essence of Dylan's enduring power as a live performer.
