Robbie Robertson last played live with the full lineup of the Band when filming 1976’s The Last Waltz in San Francisco, and has rarely performed live since. But to promote his upcoming LP How to Become Clairvoyant, Robertson will make several appearances with an unexpected backing group: L.A. folk rockers Dawes.
So far, Robertson and Dawes are only planning television and possible festival gigs. Robertson first became familiar with the band when he needed a backup vocalist on some songs, including the new single “He Don’t Live Here No More.” His manager recommended Dawes frontman – and die-hard Band fan – Taylor Goldsmith.
