GARTH HUDSON of “The Band” started his illustrious musical journey playing the Detroit/Windsor area in the late ’50s with Paul London and the Capers. He toured Southern Ontario, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas in the early ’60s with Ronnie Hawkins. Garth and bandmates soon became Bob Dylan’s band on his first worldwide electric tour. The Dylan years lead The Band to relocate to Woodstock, New York in the late ’60s. The Band’s first release, Music from Big Pink, was critically acclaimed as one of the most influential records in rock history. You will hear Garth’s wizardry on Norah Jones’s Feels Like Home, on Hal Willner’s tribute to Charlie Parker Bird Up, the Gipsy Kings’ Roots, Los Lobos’ Ride, and Neko Case’s Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. Garth’s long-awaited first solo CD, The Sea To The North, was released in 2001. Garth co-produced and recorded on Burrito Deluxe’s The Whole Enchilada. He contributed unheard tracks from his personal vault to Capitol Records’ six-disc The Band: A Musical History box set. Garth and Maud have released their duo CD, LIVE at the WOLF, as well as Garth’s CD of Music For Our Lady Queen Of The Angels. He recorded on Daniel Lanois’ album Here Is What Is, and appears in Daniel's Feature Film of the same name. Garth enjoys composing, arranging and performing with Maud and his eleven-piece band named The Best!
