Sip the Wine: Rick Danko and The Band

The story of legendary group The Band wouldn't be complete without a deep dive into Rick Danko's life.

From Ontario farm country to the dazzling lights of Toronto’s Yonge Street strip. From being a wide-eyed 16-year-old self-taught musician to touring the world with Bob Dylan and playing the legendary Woodstock music festival, being on the cover of Time magazine and being featured, as himself, in a great Martin Scorsese film — Rick Danko's story touches on the surreal. An innately gifted musician, he lived life like he was in a dream, but a dream that drifted into a nightmare from time to time, but than never stopped or even slowed him down.
