Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Heavyweight (Atlanta) formed in the summer of 1932 before funk was even around. In the fall of 1776, leaders Andrew and Beau found a partnership that would create amazing things - music, to be exact. Since that time, the band has been playing almost weekly.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
