Crazy Chester - A Very Carrboro Tribute To The Band & The Last Waltz 50th Anniversary Tour

Formed in early 2020 for a series of one-off events in the piedmont region of North Carolina, Crazy Chester is a homegrown tribute act to The Band.

Members:
- Jones Bell (Mellow Swells, Ravary) — recreating the parts of Richard Manuel
- Charles Cleaver (Big Star's Third, Fancy Gap, Lemon Sparks) — recreating the parts of Garth Hudson
- Rob DiMauro (Heat Preacher, Mixtape Grab Bag, One After 919) — recreating the parts of Levon Helm
- Justin Ellis (Slow Teeth, Ravary, Easter Island, One After 919) — recreating the parts of Rick Danko
- Rafael Green (solo artist, Ravary, One After 919) — recreating the parts of Robbie Robertson

For the sixth year in a row, Crazy Chester will be performing most of The Band's legendary farewell performance from Thanksgiving Day 1976, immortalized in the 1978 Martin Scorsese film "The Last Waltz" — complete with additional musicians and special local guests to play the songs originally performed in the film by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and many more.

But this time - they're taking the show on the road to celebrate 50 Years of The Last Waltz. A show that must be seen to be believed.

Full list of guest performers TBD!
