Years of touring have seen The Weight Band revive “The Woodstock Sound,” keeping the spirit of Americana/Roots Rock alive for audiences of all ages. Performing their original music 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. Jim Weider (guitar, mandolin & vocals) is a former member of The Band. From 1985 to 2000, Weider replaced Robbie Robertson as their lead guitarist, writing songs and performing on their three studio albums, Jericho, High on the Hog, and Jubilation. He toured internationally with original Band members Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and Rick Danko for fifteen years and was featured with them on numerous albums, films, videos, and in television appearances and also a member of Levon Helms The Midnight Ramble band.
Rounding out the band are Brian Mitchell (keyboards & vocals), also a member of Levon Helms The Midnight ramble band; Michael Bram (drums & vocals, a soulful singer and multi-instrumentalist (toured with Jason Mraz); Matt Zeiner (keyboard & vocals), also toured extensively with Dickey Betts, founding member of the Allman Brothers Band; and Albert Rogers (bass, vocals) who has shared the stage with Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and played in The Jim Weider Band.
