Remembering The Band’s Garth Hudson

End of an Era, loosing the multi-instrumentalist mastermind responsible for the music education of not just his bandmates but of a generation.

In this episode we revisit some of the Band's triumphs from their longtime association in late 1950s Toronto with legendary rockabilly Arkansas rocker turned Canadian citizen Ronnie Hawkins through to their turn as Bob Dylan's back up band, the communal home at Big Pink near Woodstock, New York, helping give rise to the storied Woodstock Music Festival, The Last Waltz and so much more!
