The Canada South Blues Society hopes you know how to waltz, Band style.
The organization is presenting The Last Waltz – A Musical Celebration of The Band, celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Band’s historic last show.
The event – which is sold out – takes place at the Portuguese Canadian Club on Grand Avenue East in Chatham Dec. 12.
A group of Canadian award-winning blues and roots musicians, under the direction of Juno award winning producer and musical director Lance Anderson, perform.
Organizers said this is an all-star line-up, featuring Jerome Levon Avis (godson of The Band’s Levon Helm) on drums and vocals, with special guests, and a nine-piece band led by Maple Blues 2014 Keyboardist of the Year Lance Anderson. The performance will recreate the atmosphere of The Band’s final concert, which was captured in Martin Scorcese’s award-winning concert film, The Last Waltz.
