About the Performers 
Performing the classic songs of The Band (“The Weight,” “Up on Cripple Creek”) alongside selections from their acclaimed current album Shines Like Gold, The Weight Band carries on the timeless spirit and sound of one of rock’s most beloved groups.
Led by Jim Weider, guitarist and vocalist from Woodstock, NY, who replaced Robbie Robertson in The Band and later performed with Levon Helm in the Levon Helm Band, The Weight Band was formed in 2013 inside Levon Helm’s legendary Woodstock barn. Inspired by Helm to continue the musical legacy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group, Weider and his bandmates deliver a dynamic set that blends classic Americana with roadhouse rock, funky swamp pop, blues, country soul, and folk.
Their performances feature a mix of The Weight Band’s original material and fan favorites from The Band’s catalog, as well as songs by The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, and more.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/150261/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Dogfather Grooming

We were recently selected as a 2026 Best of Connecticut winner in the "Pet Salon or Boutique" category (CT Insider), and we'd love to reflect this in our listing. Could you please replace our current About Us text with the version below? (I've woven the recognition into the last paragraph so it reads naturally.) "Dogfather Grooming is a premier pet care provider serving Southern Connecticut with over 20 years of professional experience. The company offers both convenient mobile grooming services and high-quality salon experiences at multiple locations, including Meriden, Stratford, Shelton, and Fairfield. Established in 2006, they have grown into a trusted regional brand dedicated to the comfort and well-being of pets across the state. Their comprehensive service menu includes full-service dog grooming, professional cat grooming, warm water massage baths, de-shedding treatments, and precise nail clipping and filing. The team specializes in tailoring grooming plans to individual breed needs, from puppy grooming to specialized styling for curly-coated breeds like Doodles. With a fleet of 25 fully equipped mobile vans and dedicated salon spaces, they provide a calm, low-stress environment for every animal. Customers can expect a compassionate, one-on-one approach from a team that prioritizes animal health and safety above all else. By offering standing recurring appointments, Dogfather Grooming ensures consistent, reliable care that helps pet owners maintain their companions' long-term health and hygiene. That same commitment to quality and compassionate care recently earned Dogfather Grooming recognition as a 2026 Best of Connecticut winner in the Pet Salon or Boutique category by CT Insider."
