Playing For Change’s latest release, a cover of The Band’s epic “The Weight” featuring Robbie Robertson and Ringo Starr, is a viral video sensation on the song’s 50th anniversary.
“We made it brick by brick, starting with Robbie” Playing For Change co-founder Mark Johnson, a Grammy-winning producer-engineer, told Rolling Stone. “That’s what makes this special. We could never have never assembled this group in the studio. You need to go there, and then when you go there, you’re where they feel comfortable. You hear that in the music.”

About Playing For Change

In its own words, Playing For Change, “is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.”
