Olof Björner

Olof Björner (26 November 1942 – 12 September 2023) was a Swedish researcher who specialised in documenting the live performances and recording sessions of the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.[1] In addition to operating bjorner.com, a website featuring detailed listings of Dylan's live concerts and studio recordings from 1956 to 2020, Björner authored a 13-volume set on these subjects, called Olof's Files: A Bob Dylan Performance Guide, issued by UK publisher Hardinge Simpole.[2]

Commenting on the quality of Björner's publications and his website, Dylan critic Michael Gray has written, "The detail is extraordinary, and the level of accuracy phenomenal."[2]

Biography

Björner was born in Stockholm in 1942, and obtained a computer science degree in 1967. He first worked as a computer consultant and later became a management consultant specializing in internet technology strategies for the healthcare industry. In 2003, he and his wife Agneta bought a bookstore in Filipstad, a small town in the Swedish countryside.[2] He became interested in Dylan in 1963. His first work on the recording artist, Words Fill My Head, Written, Spoken, Sung by Bob Dylan was self-published in 1989.[2] Björner died on 12 September 2023, at the age of 80.[1]
