Just over a decade ago a seven-member edition of Front Porch Roots Revue ran Up On Cripple Creek: The Songbook of “The Band” up the flagpole to an enthusiastic response from festival and theatre audiences. Armed with Band classics The Weight, Stage Fright, Shape I’m In, It Makes No Difference, Ophelia, When I Paint My Masterpiece, and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, this ensemble captures the magic that Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko created. Now with the enlistment of former Byrd John York, the ensemble has added tunes from The Byrds and Bob Dylan songbooks, making for an authentic and soulful evening of classic Americana music.
