Weekend, members of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, was one of WNY's premier rock groups of the 1970's.The group has been performing select live shows since 1998, when the band reunited after a twenty year absence. Weekend feature Bob Culver on Vocals, Ned Wood on Keyboards, Tom Ryan on drums, Rick Ryan on Bass and Frank Grizanti on guitar. 

    From Syracuse to Buffalo, up to Niagara Falls and down to the Surf Club in Bemus Point, Weekend used a combination of their own hits like "Everyday" and Together" mixed with intricate and difficult tunes by giants like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Queen, The Beatles, Yes, Supertramp and a host of others. Weekend is noted for covering difficult songs that other groups wouldn't consider attempting.

    Weekend's rise to the top of the local music scene, their consistancy across their decade of music, their 20 year absence from live performances and their return to the local music scene is unique perhaps because the members of the group are not only very talented, but they hold a special connection with one another and their audience.

    "I'm not sure who has more fun at our shows, the band or the audience." says singer Bob Culver. "The concerts show us we can still do the tough songs well: people still want to hear them and they really like the new songs."

    The group joined the best of the best in Western New York in October of 2000, as they were inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame. Joining the group for the induction ceremony was guitarist and vocalist Denny Dunkowski, an original member of the group.

Also in 2000 the band issued a CD release of "WEEKEND AT LAST," a re-mastering of the bands original 1975 album, with 5 additional new songs. The group has recently released a new live CD from their November 2001 show at the Tralf in Buffalo. They continue to write and record more songs, hoping to release a new album later this year.
