Details
Costello will join Bob Dylan Center Senior Director Steven Jenkins for a conversation about his earliest years as a songwriter, in the studio and onstage; the making of “My Aim Is True” with California-based combo Clover; the forming of his extraordinary band The Attractions; and the discovery of home recordings, demos and alternate takes of songs such as “Alison,” “Watching the Detectives” and “(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes” that tell the full story of Declan MacManus’s evolution into the artist we know as Elvis, his aim still true 49 years later.
