The mission
of The THE BAND Band is to present the music of The Band in a manner
true to its original style and form, evoking the sound and the
spirit of their live performances; to perform their songs for
longtime fans as well as a new generation of listeners; and to have
fun doing it.
The members of The THE BAND Band are veteran professional musicians
who have played on the national stage for over 25 years. They share
a love for the music of The Band, and formed this tribute band for
the sheer enjoyment of playing their songs. By covering all the
well-loved favorites, as well as a broad selection of lesser-known
songs, they showcase the astounding breadth and depth of The Band’s
distinctively original “roots rock” music.
The Band is undeniably one of the greatest and most influential
groups in the history of rock and roll. Their 1968 debut album,
Music From Big Pink, was ranked #34 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list
of the top 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003, and a year
later, The Band was ranked #50 on their list of the 100 Greatest
Artists of All Time. Many of their songs, such as “The Weight”, “Up
On Cripple Creek”, and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”, are
universally regarded as timeless classics. But while The Band may
be long gone from the stage, The THE BAND Band is the perfect remedy
for Band-starved fans everywhere. |
