His article, "Talkin' Hava Nagilah Blues" is currently featured on the website www.jewsrock.org, and has been reprinted in HADASSAH magazine. He is currently writing BOB DYLAN: Prophet, Mystic, Poet, a full-length analysis of Bob Dylan's life and work, due out from Scribner Books in 2009.
Seth is also a singer-guitarist and leader of several bands, including the Rolling Rogovoy Revue and Seth Rogovoy and the Grove Street Band. He frequently performs at Club Helsinki in Great Barrington, Mass., and at Bob Dylan tribute concerts throughout the Northeast United States.

If you are going to write about Bob Dylan Zimmerman, you have to understand his roots in Duluth and Northern Minnesota. You have to go there and listen to people talk. You should call my sister and hear her take on his singing. It's all about Duluth.

Did you hear the duo at Napa last night? (2/2/2010) They were amazing and played acoustic versions of rollings stones, celtic, blues, jazz and originals. Never saw them before. Hope you were there
