Bob Dylan: Photographs by Daniel Kramer @ Grammy Museum
It was an iconic transformation in music when Bob Dylan plugged in, ultimately cutting ties with his folk roots for electrifying rock. This transition, and other seminal Dylan moments were captured by photographer Daniel Kramer and are now on display at the Grammy Museum in Hollywood. The New York based artist premiered the 50 plus photo gallery in Dylan’s hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota before packing it up and heading west, just in time for Dylan’s 75th birthday.

Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” 50th anniversary tribute @ The Echo
Probably the most iconic record celebrates it’s 50th birthday this month. That’s right, it’s “Pet Sounds,” a 35-minute summer vacation in song form, and the brainchild of inimitable Brian Wilson. It goes without saying that this record was a game changer, and solidified The Beach Boys as legends of rock and pop music. The Echo will pay tribute to The Beach Boys Sunday night with performances Feels, Froth, Joel Jerome, Thee Commons and more.
