Replicating the music of The Band is a tall order. But interpreting the music of The Band is an art. Songs that have reverberated across history for decades continue to speak to millions of us. And The Weight, a five-piece ensemble featuring Jim Weider and Randy Ciarlante from The Band,Brian Mitchell of the Levon Helm Band , Albert Rogers and Marty Grebb, who worked with Rick Danko and Richard Manuel of The Band, remains a vehicle through which we can continue to share those stories and dance to those back beats. Come and take a load off...

Welcome Gnomies! We are a 7 piece original rock/folk band out of Southern CT. You can catch us in a myriad of venues singing our originals as well as our favorite songs by other artists. We thank you for all your support during our journey and if you are just joining us, hop on for the ride!

We are working on our new album as we speak and road testing the new songs at our shows. We hope to see you in the crowd with a smile on your face and a gnome hat upon your head!
