Profile:
When he was 12 years old the epitome of cool for J.Black was to sit in the Studio 22 Coffee Bar order a coca cola and select Bob Dylan songs on the Juke Box. The poetry of Dylan’s songs has amazed him all his life
The music of J. Black was born in the sixties, through an early baptism working with bands in the clubs of the North East of England.
From early influences of Chuck Berry, The Animals, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, his musical form grew and settled in the music from America epitomised by Bob Dylan and The Band, as well as Little Feat, The Allman Brothers and Steely Dan.
But at long last, he has now developed a show which is a Tribute to the music of his hero Bob Dylan.
J. Black now based in Dublin and is focussing on this solo show, which is completely live. Acoustic guitar, piano and harmonica are used to provide a backdrop for the words of the great man himself.
After his concert at the St. John’s Theatre and Arts Centre in Listowel, Co. Kerry earlier this year, J.Black went for a quiet drink in John B. Keane’s pub with the theatre director Joe Murphy. The Fine Gael party, then working on the election, had been holding a rally in Listowel and afterwards came into the pub. Jimmy Deenihan, Listowel TD, having discovered that J Black had been performing in the Theatre persuaded him to give a rousing a capella version of Bob Dylan’s “Times they are a Changing” standing on chair in the pub. As it has turned out this was a very appropriate song choice, as the times have changed and Fine Gale is in government. The now Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, was in the pub and can be seen in the photograph above thanking J. Black for his song
