The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame member is known to have pioneered the Americana genre. His songwriting credits include the “The Weight,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and “Up on Cripple Creek,” among others. Robertson also achieved success as a solo act, receiving accolades from the Recording Academy, the community of Six Nations and more. After The Band‘s 1976 farewell concert was captured on film by Martin Scorsese, he formed a lifelong bond with the famed director and collaborated as a composer, music supervisor and music producer on many of his acclaimed movies. In 2019, The Band’s concert film, The Last Waltz, was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry for its cultural significance.
