Playing the Music of the Band

Grammy-nominated Professor Louie and The Crowmatix with The Woodstock Horns perform The Band repertoire learned directly from The Band and songs Louie helped create with them including their comeback hit Atlantic City. He collaborated with The Band for over fifteen years, co-producing The Band’s last three CD’s.

Professor Louie and The Crowmatix began as the studio backing band for Aaron Professor Louie’s musical productions for The Band. Rick Danko, bass player and singer of The Band, christened him Professor Louie due to his work with The Band and individual members.

Music Of The Band Show has a diverse set list with songs from The Band, Bob Dylan and Professor Louie and The Crowmatix.

Professor Louie has emerged in the music industry as the torchbearer of the true spirit of American Roots Music.

Professor Louie and The Crowmatix have been inducted in The New York State Blues Hall of Fame and hold a permanent place in The Canada South Blues Museum. Professor Louie is a recipient of The Robert H. Chambers Award for Excellence in the Traditional Arts from Common Ground on the Hill.

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
