\n\tIn the summer of 2024, Brittney Spencer<\/a> played a series of amphitheater dates with Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan<\/a> on the Outlaw Music Festival Tour<\/a>. It was a huge opportunity for the country singer-songwriter, though she assumed she\u2019d never even meet Dylan, let alone interact with him.<\/p>\n \n\tBut one night, she found herself face-to-face with him when he stopped by her dressing room after a set. \u201c[He] told me he really liked my songs,\u201d Spencer wrote on Instagram, announcing four concert dates this summer where she\u2019ll open for Dylan and Jimmie Vaughan. \u201cHe was so detailed about it all that I could actually barely handle it.\u00a0 He asked for my number. I wrote it on a napkin & gave it to him. He didn\u2019t call lol. I think this is his way of calling now & I\u2019m picking up on the first ring.\u201d (In an Instagram video Spencer posted along with the announcement, Dylan is seen lurking on the side of the stage as she plays, looking disturbingly like a Sith Lord.)<\/p>\n \n\tSpencer is opening for Dylan in mid-July at shows in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston, and Gilford, New Hampshire. It\u2019s part of a series of East Coast dates that Dylan just added to his already packed U.S. summer tour schedule. It begins June 4 in Troutdale, Oregon, and wraps up July 25 in Vienna, Virginia. Fans that can\u2019t wait that long can see Dylan hit remote markets in the south through the rest of April, including Macon, Georgia; Dothan, Alabama; and Tyler, Texas.
