CL RECOMMENDS
CL’s Hal Horowitz: The music of The Band is kept alive by this outfit that also plays their own originals and songs from other roots and Americana music acts loosely grouped under the “Woodstock sound.” Front man Jim Weider played with both The Band and Levon Helm. His presence infuses integrity into an outfit that has toured relentlessly since 2013.
From the venue:
Performing their current album, World Gone Mad, as well as classic songs of The Band, The Weight Band is led by Jim Weider, a 15-year former member of The Band and the Levon Helm Band. The Weight Band originated in 2013 inside the famed Woodstock barn of Levon Helm. Weider was inspired by Helm to carry on the musical legacy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group.
