Join VHM and the Bob Dylan Center (Tulsa, OK) to celebrate the legacy of Indigenous rock star Jesse Ed Davis!

Davis was a generational talent, collaborating with rock legends from Bob Dylan to John Lennon while spending much of his time in Southern California in Venice. Following his death in Venice 1988, his memory has survived among those who worked with him, but his lasting impact has been under-appreciated until recently.
