Jamey Johnson, rock supergroup highlight return of The Band's 'The Last Waltz' Tour

"In Color" vocalist and recent Grand OIe Opry inductee Jamey Johnson is set to join an all-star supergroup of rock icons to celebrate the return of Blackbird Presents' Robbie Robertson, Sebastian Robertson, and Keith Wortman's "The Last Waltz" Tour.

The multi-city tour kicks off with two nights at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, on November 3. Tickets go on sale September 16, 2022, at 10 AM ET at thelastwaltztour.live.

2022's "The Last Waltz" Tour will feature a star-studded lineup with Johnson, Warren Haynes, Don Was, Kathleen Edwards, and Anders Osborne. As well, Dave Malone, John Medeski, Cyril Neville, Terrence Higgins, Bob Margolin, Mark Mullins, and The Levee Horns (featuring the original horn arrangements of Allen Toussaint) will be spotlighted.

“It is such an honor that the musical celebration of The Last Waltz and The Band carries on today. Blackbird Presents and this extraordinary lineup of musicians makes me proud to be a part of this ongoing and wonderful tradition.” says Robbie Robertson. “We are counting down the days till we get to see this lineup, performing these songs, in the greatest music celebration of our lives,” adds Keith Wortman, Creator and Producer of The Last Waltz Tour franchise.

Since 2016, the "The Last Waltz" tour franchise has honored the final concert played as a unit by The Band on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Similar to the crew of artists reviving the performances in 2022, the original "Last Waltz" featured Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan, plus Paul Butterfield, Bobby Charles, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, and Neil Young.

Memorably, to close the event, Robertson, The Band's lead guitarist, songwriter, and a founding member, said "Goodnight. Goodbye" as he left the stage.
