Eric Garth Hudson CM (August 2, 1937 – January 21, 2025) was a Canadian multi-instrumentalist best known as the keyboardist and occasional saxophonist for the rock group The Band, for which he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. He was a principal architect of the group's sound and was described as "the most brilliant organist in the rock world"[1][2] by Keyboard magazine. Hudson was the last living original member of the Band.[3]
A master of the Lowrey organ, Hudson's other primary instruments were piano, accordion, electronic keyboards, and saxophones (alto, tenor, soprano, baritone, bass).[3] He was a much-in-demand and respected session musician, performing with dozens of artists, including Elton John, who has cited him as an early influence.[4]
