First Annual Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame Ceremony to take place in April 2024!

During his experience collaborating with Levon on a book about his Midnight Ramble house concerts and triumphant recovery from cancer, author John Barry learned plenty about the man from Turkey Scratch and how he had little use for fame and celebrity.

Interview with Jim Weider, sole guitarist for The Band from 1985-2000, whose Weight Band will play The Delta Roots Festival on April 9!

Keith Wortman, Robbie Robertson, Sebastian Robertson, and Blackbird Presents are thrilled to announce The Last Waltz New Orleans: A Celebration…

Conversations with iconic duo Larry and Teresa are like an open jam where two guitarists vamp off each other, or a first date where a couple clicks and both people know and trust the time together is magic.

Weider stepped into Robbie Robertson’s shoes and resurrected The Band with a second coming unmatched in rock by anyone else, with the possible exception of Warren Haynes in the Allman Brothers.

This is the third live release from The Weight Band, and for my money the absolute greatest. Stripped to its bare bones, roots music gets a proper hat tip (and wine toast) from a group that knows it best.
