The Weight Band Returns to the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Sunday, March 17, 2024. Led by Jim Weider, a 15-year former member of The Band and the Levon Helm Band, they perform original songs as well as classics of The 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.
The Weight Band is composed of band leader, renowned guitarist Jim Weider, 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).
Their new album, ‘Shines Like Gold’, presents a dynamic set of classic Americana that draws upon roadhouse rock, funky swamp pop, blues, country soul and folk music. 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 ‘Shines Like Gold’ representing a sublime example of these masterful roots musicians at work.
