The Weight Band rolls into Cohoes Music Hall on Thursday, November 14, bringing the timeless sound of The Band back to life — and we caught up with Jim Weider, the legendary guitarist who played alongside Levon Helm and carried that Woodstock spirit into a new era.
In our conversation, Jim reflects on the power of The Band’s songs, the lessons learned from Levon, and how The Weight Band continues to write its own chapter while honoring the legacy that shaped American music.
“We’re not just keeping the songs alive,” Jim says. “We’re keeping the feeling alive — that connection, that groove that comes from real players in a room together.”
Catch the full interview on-air and online — and don’t miss The Weight Band live at Cohoes Music Hall, Thursday, November 14.
