This November, Robbie Robertson and Blackbird Presents are coming together to present a 12-date tour in celebration of The Last Waltz, The Band's legendary farewell concert at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving 1976 that was immortalized in Martin Scorsese's 1978 concert film.
As with Blackbird's Last Waltz 40th anniversary tour in 2017, this year's outing will be led by guitarists Warren Haynes and Jamey Johnson, along with Lukas Nelson, bassist Don Was, keyboardist John Medeski, iconic New Orleans vocalist/percussionist Cyril Neville, The Radiators' Dave Malone, drummer Terence Higgins, guitarist Bob Margolin and trombonist Mark Mullins, who will be leading the Levee Horns.
“It is such an honor that the musical celebration of The Last Waltz and The Band carries on today," Robertson says in a statement. "Blackbird Presents and this extraordinary lineup of talent makes me proud to be a part of this ongoing and wonderful tradition.”
