Multiple outlets report that Bob Dylan’s live band is experiencing a rapid change in its guitarist lineup. Recent developments include the replacement of Doug Lancio, who had been part of Dylan’s band since 2021, taking over the role after Charlie Sexton. On June 17, jazz guitarist Julian Lage replaces Lancio, according to reports. Around the end of June, Bob Britt, a guitarist who has been with Dylan since 2019, is reported to have quit the touring band. Accounts describe Britt’s departure as abrupt and tied to a Facebook post in which he wrote “Sayonara Bobby.” With these changes, outlets also report that the tour continues with a new guitarist, Joel Paterson, who is described as joining the live band as the remaining guitarist. Across the sources, the core storyline is that two long-serving guitar roles have changed within weeks, resulting in an evolving roster during the tour.
