Behind the Scenes with Daniel Lanois and Bill Dillon at Grant Avenue Studio

Here are some behind the scenes video clips from my day with two Canadian music legends, Bill Dillon and Daniel Lanois at the legendary Grant Avenue Studio, filming for my Bill Dillon Documentary Project

In the early 1980's, Bill was a well established local musician and Lanois was well on his path to greatness as a highly sought after music producer.

Daniel Lanois was producing the debut solo album by fellow Canadian and founding member of THE BAND, Robbie Robertson and he knew that Bill had just the right guitar sound that was needed for this ground breaking album.

Daniel went to bat for Bill, insisting that they fly him to LA for the sessions. When Robbie heard Bill's playing he was instantly sold and thus started Bill Dillons career as a long time member of Robbie Robertsons recording and touring band and so much more!

Listen to the self-titled debut solo album by Robbie Robertson to familiarize yourself with Bill Dillon and his unique style.
