THE WEIGHT Band

When

We all miss Robbie, Rick, Levon, Richard, Garth …”The Band”.
But “The Weight Band ” has been keeping that spirit and music alive.

This A list band, is composed of band leader, renowned guitarist Jim Weider (The Band, Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble Band, Jim Weider Band), keyboardist Brian Mitchell (Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble Band), bassist Albert Rogers (Jim Weider Band, Jimmy Vivino), drummer Michael Bram (Jason Mraz) and keyboardist Matt Zeiner (Dickey Betts). The veteran quintet shares a deep appreciation and knowledge for this music, which Weider describes as the “Woodstock Sound.” The Weight Band continues to serve as its torchbearer, with their moast recent album, Shines Like Gold representing a sublime example of these masterful roots musicians at work. Carol has been trying to get them back to Stone Mountain Arts Center   for awhile.
