Garth and Maud Hudson

Garth Hudson of "The Band" started his illustrious musical journey playing the Detroit/Windsor area in the late '50s with Paul London and the Capers. He toured SW Ontario in the early '60s with Ronnie Hawkins. Garth and band mates soon became Bob Dylan's band on his first worldwide electric tour. The Dylan years lead the band to relocate to Woodstock, New York in the late '60s. The Band's first release, "Music from Big Pink" was critically acclaimed as one of the most influential records in Rock History. Garth has released his first solo CD, "The Sea To The North" and has just completed co-producing and recording with Burrito Deluxe ("The Whole Enchilada"), also "LIVE at the WOLF" of his Intimate shows with his wife, vocalist Maud Hudson (to be released Feb. 2005).
