Today marks Garth Hudson’s 84th birthday. The renowned multi-instrumentalist for The Band was born on August 2, 1937 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. An innovative, multi-talented musician, Hudson’s time in The Band saw him practically creating the blueprint for the modern keyboard player: a wizard surrounded by a number of magical instruments. In a 1983 profile,
Keyboard Magazine called him, “the first true rock keyboard virtuoso” and
Time dubbed him “the most brilliant organist in the rock world.”
While he is also a skilled saxophonist, Garth’s primary instrument was the Lowery organ. Hudson’s adoption of the Lowery — beginning with his time in Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks and continuing as a backing musician for Bob Dylan and into The Band — was somewhat rare as most keyboardists preferred the Hammond organ. While both electronic organs, the Lowery is more akin to a synthesizer and offers a wider variety of sounds, perfect for Hudson’s innovative nature.
