The Complete Unknowns return to the Bay Street Theater stage to perform in concert on Friday, October 20, at 8 p.m. in their only East End performance of 2023.

The Complete Unknowns have performed Bob Dylan’s songs over the last 16 years. The band has dived deep into Dylan’s catalog as well as the most familiar work. Bob Dylan at 82 years young continues to tour the world introducing new material. This show will feature “Back to Basics,” the songs that put and keep Dylan on the map, taking a look at his seminal work. The band will perform songs such as “Don’t Think Twice,” Blowing in the Wind” and “Hurricane.” Dancing is encouraged.

Band leader and lead vocalist, Brooklyn-born Michael Weiskopf has musically lived throughout the powerful Bob Dylan arch that influenced all popular music since the 1960s. He has played at many of the same venues in Greenwich Village that Bob Dylan, John Sebastian and Eric Anderson also performed in.

With a repertoire that spans six decades, The Complete Unknowns have toured both coasts of the United States and have performed internationally. The band consists of Michael Weiskopf (vocals, harmonica, and guitar), Randolph A. Hudson III (guitar and vocals), Stuart Sherman (keyboard and vocals), Taka Shimizu (bass and vocals), Klyph Black (guitar and vocals), James Benard (drums/percussion and vocals), Alex Sarkis (drums/percussion and vocals) and Lauren Matzen (percussion and vocals).

Tickets start at $35 at baystreet.org or 631-725-9500. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
