This week on Definitely Dylan Live, Laura and Robert are joined in the studio by two very special guests, Salford-born singer and songwriter Ren Harvieu, and Romeo Stodart of The Magic Numbers. The two tell us what got them into Bob Dylan, how he has influenced their music, and recount one of the best Bob Dylan anecdotes you’ve never heard. They also grace us with breathtaking cover versions of two Dylan songs, and frankly, those are perhaps our favourite Definitely Dylan moments ever, so we’re so so pleased that we get to share this with you!
You can order Ren Harvieu’s upcoming album Revel In The Drama here, and you should also check out the singles Curves and Swerves, Yes Please, and Teenage Mascara! Find out more info and tickets to Ren’s upcoming tour dates, including at London’s Moth Club, here.
