“We don’t play our versions of The Band’s songs, we play their versions... to preserve the authenticity of their sound, their arrangements, and most importantly, the spirit of their live shows. We use the same instrumentation – not just guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards, but accordion, mandolin, fiddle, and tuba, and a four piece horn section when possible. Musically, it’s both challenging and gratifying to us. The audience response has been better than we could have dreamed. Clearly, there’s a huge demand for just what we’re doing.”

Drawing their repertoire from The Band's seminal period – from Big Pink to The Last Waltz - they showcase the astounding breadth and depth of The Band’s distinctively original Americana music, mixing well-known hits with obscure gems. They have performed “album shows” (The Band, Stage Fright), recreations of historic concerts (The Last Waltz, Woodstock, Watkins Glen Music Festival), and a special tribute to Bob Dylan.
