Bob Dylan’s time in New York City was formative for his work as a musician, but he also spent time in Cambridge before he rose to success. Here, he quickly involved himself in the folk scene, but people didn’t take him all that seriously at first. A fellow musician, Eric von Schmidt, once compared Dylan to a gnome, though not because of his musical abilities.

In the early 1960s, Cambridge had a small coffee house turned music venue called Club 47, just a few blocks from Harvard Square. Club 47 co-founder Joyce Chopra told WBUR the area “was considered the hinterlands … You were slumming it if you went down there.”
