Bob Dylan to perform at Grammy Awards Ceremony

Bob Dylan will be bringing his acoustic guitar to perform Sunday at the 53rd Grammy Awards.

The appearance will mark just his fifth performance on the show despite a recording career that dates back to the Kennedy administration.

He’ll perform alongside two rising folk rock bands whose work draws from the same well: Mumford & Sons and the Avett Bros.

Dylan’s first performance on the Grammys didn’t come until 1980, when he and his band were greeted with a standing ovation as they played the opening notes of “Gotta Serve Somebody.” That show was also the first Grammys broadcast produced by Ken Erhlich, who has done every broadcast since. Erhlich and Neil Portnow, president of the Recording Academy of Arts & Sciences, have been working to secure Dylan’s booking for months.

The Grammys air Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. PST.
