Vanished Venues: Gerde's Folk City

Our series on great concert halls and nightclubs from New York music history continues with a look at Gerde's Folk City, a hub for the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s and ‘70s – and the site of Bob Dylan’s first professional gig.

As part of our series Vanished Venues, we talk with Dylan biographer Sean Wilentz and singer Suzzy Roche. Plus: folk trio (and Gerde’s regulars) The Roches perform their song “Face Down at Folk City.”
