Garth Hudson is a Canadian-born musician who is best known ast the organist/keyboardist for the Canadian-American roots rock group The Band.
A prodigiously talented multi-instrumentalist and virtuoso keyboard player, Hudson provided the lush yet innovative accompaniment --for example, the song Up On Cripple Creek features Hudson playing a clavinet through a wah-wah pedal to create a swampy sound reminiscent of a jaw harp or the croak of a frog. A master of the Lowrey organ, Hudson's orchestral tone sense and dramatic, pitch-bending improvisational style anticipated many of the sonic advances of the polyphonic synthesiser.
