It's an Infinity Hall tradition, come celebrate Valentine's Day with The Weight Band ft. members of The Band & Levon Helm Band!
After years of touring, The Weight Band has released a new album of original material, packaged for today’s vibrant Americana base and capturing The Band’s rich musical tradition. Released in February 2018, World Gone Mad is an Americana/Roots Rock masterpiece of the Woodstock sound.
The Weight Band originated in 2013 inside the famed Woodstock, New York barn of Levon Helm when Jim Weider and Randy Ciarlante — both former members of The Band — performed “Songs of The Band” with Band founder, Garth Hudson, alongside Jimmy Vivino and Byron Isaacs. Inspired to carry on the legacy of the unforgettable rock group, Weider, Ciarlante and Isaacs began performing fan favorites from The Band catalog to audiences across the country, inviting Brian Mitchell and Marty Grebb to complete their sound. The Weight Band later added Albert Rogers, Michael Bram and Matt Zeiner to make up their current lineup, featuring songs from The Band's treasured catalog as well as new original tracks that complement The Band’s timeless legacy.
Relix Magazine recently spotlighted The Weight Band in two significant pieces: a profile on The Band in their June 2018 issue, as well as a review of World Gone Mad. Here are a few excerpts:
“Newly released 11-track album World Gone Mad, the ensemble have firmly established themselves as an entity unto their own.”
“The Weight Band also turn the Hunter/Garcia-penned classic “Deal” on its head, opening the track with a funkified guitar riff before the song settles into a raucous, rootsy groove...”
Billboard Magazine proclaims “Weider… keeps the upstate spirit of The Band alive as leader of The Weight Band.

Artist Bio
The Weight Band, led by Jim Weider, a 15-year former member of The Band, and the guitarist who replaced Robbie Robertson, will pay tribute to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ensemble’s iconic, timeless, and enduring 1968 album, “Music from Big Pink.”
The Weight Band, named for the classic The Band song, “The Weight,” will perform a rare and historic show showcasing “Music from Big Pink” in its entirety, along with outtakes and other favorites by The Band. The show will also include cuts from The Weight Band’s latest album, “Shines Like Gold,” a dynamic set of classic Americana that draws upon roadhouse rock, funky swamp pop, blues, country soul, and folk music.
The Weight Band will interpret and honor the legacy of “Music from Big Pink,” which changed rock and roll forever. The Band drummer Levon Helm inspired Weider to launch The Weight Band in 2013, as a vehicle for carrying on the musical legacy of The Band.
The Weight Band features guitarist and vocalist Jim Weider, a Woodstock native who joined The Band in 1985 and was a member until 2000. Weider was also a member of the Levon Helm Band. The Weight Band also includes keyboard player and vocalist Brian Mitchell (Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble Band), drummer and vocalist Michael Bram (Jason Mraz), keyboard player and vocalist Matt Zeiner (Dickey Betts, Matt “Guitar” Murphy), and bass player and vocalist Albert Rogers (Jim Weider Band).
