For this special show, The THE BAND Band will honor Bob Dylan’s recent Nobel prize and the historic relationship between Dylan and THE BAND by performing some Bob Dylan classics including selections from The Basement Tapes collection, the incredible collaboration between Dylan & THE BAND.
While iconic roots- rock The Band may be long gone from the stage, The THE BAND Band is keeping their sound and spirit alive and well with authentic, true-to-form renditions of the legendary repertoire. This group of veteran musicians showcases the astounding breadth and depth of The Band's distinctively original Americana music with classics such as Up on Cripple Creek, The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, as well as deeper cuts from The Band’s vast catalog. As the premier tribute to The Band, The THE BAND Band celebrates the intricacy and genius of The Band's harmonies, preserving the spirit of their live performances. Drawing their set list from The Band's seminal period - from Big Pink to The Last Waltz - they bring the songs to life again. www.thethebandband.com
