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
