The THE BAND Band Presents a Tribute to Bob Dylan and The Band
The acclaimed group The THE BAND Band is without a doubt the most musically satisfying tribute to The Band on the scene today. While 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 their 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.
For this special show, they will also honor the historic relationship between The Band and Bob Dylan by performing some Dylan classics as well as selections from The Basement Tapes collection, the incredible collaboration between Dylan & The Band.
This is not your ordinary tribute band. The THE BAND Band brings the songs to life again with the energy and excitement of The Band's legendary concerts, earning the praise of critics and audiences alike.
