THE WEIGHT

Replicating the music of The Band is a tall order, but interpreting the music of The Band is a definite art. Songs that have reverberated across history for decades continue to speak to millions of fans. And THE WEIGHT carries on the legendary musical tradition. THE WEIGHT is a five-piece ensemble featuring Jim Weider and Randy Ciarlante from The Band; Brian Mitchell of the Levon Helm Band; Marty Grebb, who wrote and recorded with The Band and worked with Rick Danko and Richard Manuel; and Albert Rogers who played with Levon Helm and Garth Hudson. Hailed as "the most authentic presentation of The Band that the world is ever gonna get," THE WEIGHT is the musical vehicle through which fans can continue to share those memorable stories and dance to those incredible back beats. Anyone who loves The Band should come, take a load off, and prepare for an unforgettable performance.
