About The THE BAND Band
Since 2007 The THE BAND Band has been bringing the music of The Band to life with authentic true-to-form renditions of their extraordinary repertoire. From hit songs such as “The Weight” “Up On Cripple Creek” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and deep cuts from their classic albums to the historic collaborations with Bob Dylan THE BAND Band delivers with the passion and commitment for which The Band was renowned.
Gary Solomon co-founder of The THE BAND Band was a 19 year old kid from New York when he found himself in the audience at The Last Waltz at San Francisco’s Winterland Arena on Thanksgiving Day in 1976. “I was in the right place at the right time” Solomon says. Now 64 he has been leading the tribute band he co-founded with lifelong friend Jack Kraft “It began as a labor of love but after a few local gigs it started taking on a life of its own. Soon we had an agent and we were taking it on the road. Now it’s been almost 15 years and people have taken notice. Our fans are as passionate about The Band as we are and our shows feed off that common love for this great music.”
