There are bands for which rock and roll is a
lifestyle\, and then there are bands for which it is
\nlife.
To many\, The Weber Brothers are the baddest band in the land. To many ot
hers\, their story sits like an ancient volume in an old bookstore\, dust
covered\, tucked away behind hundreds of newer\, shinier books. Untouched.
Waiting to be discovered. Regardless of what side you’re on\, there’s an
undeniable truth. In the rough and tumble world of rock and roll\, The Web
er Brothers have been around the
\nblock.
Ryan and Sam Weber left
their Baltimore\, MD home one night as teenagers\, with the aim of meetin
g
\ntheir idol\, rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins\, and ten hours lat
er showed up at his doorstep. “The
\nHawk”\, the elder statesman of r
ock whose former protégés (Robbie Robertson\, Rick Danko\, Levon
\nHe
lm\, Richard Manuel\, Garth Hudson) went on to reshape music history as “T
he Band”\, was duly
\nimpressed by the pair’s immense raw talent\, an
d promptly invited them to audition for his storied
\nbacking band\,
The Hawks. Mere months later\, after surviving the intense musical apprent
iceship of
\nhis fabled “Rock ‘n’ Roll Boot-camp\,” they were in: ful
l-blooded Hawks. By the ages of 18 and 21
\nthey had already performe
d alongside Kris Kristofferson\, Levon Helm\, Garth Hudson\, Jeff Healey a
nd the Tragically Hip to name a few.
\nOver the past 18 years they’ve
recorded 14 independent albums and toured extensively throughout the
\nU.S.\, Canada and Europe.
\nIn October 2012 the brothers were invi
ted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame American Music
\nMasters Tribut
e to Chuck Berry in Cleveland where they shared the stage with Merle Hagga
rd\,
\nLemmy Kilmister\, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels\, Rick Derringer\, Jo
e Bonamassa\, Earl Slick\, Steve
\nJordan and the father of Rock and
Roll himself\, Chuck Berry.
2016 saw the release of “Before We Arr ive: The Story of The Weber Brothers”\, a feature length documentary chron icling the pair’s musical journey\, which the Toronto Independent Film Fes tival dubbed “Best Documentary” for 2016.
\nAlso highly regarded for their proficiency as studio musicians\, the brothers have recorded on hun dreds of outside projects\, including work with Gordon Lightfoot\, Kris Kr istofferson\, Ronnie Hawkins and Willie Nelson.
\nBetween their reno wned musical ability\, high-energy\, awe-inspiring performances and lesson s learned first hand from rock n’ roll pioneers\, a reputation as the “Bad dest Band in the Land”\, “heroes of this generation” and “the future in th e big shoes of the past” now precedes them. Whether it be their unrivaled power as a full rock band\, or their undeniable chemistry highlighted in a head-to-head duo performance\, The Weber Brothers always deliver.
\n“If it’s looked at as a passing of the torch or a keeping of the flame\, then we’re the guys to do it\,” says Ryan Weber.
\n“The Weber Brothe rs are the ultimate roots band\, playing\, writing and doing it all.” – Bo b Mersereau\, Top 100 Canadian Blog
\n“Enthusiasm…energy-wise the ba nd is great… We know they’re great.” – Garth Hudson
\n“If I had The Weber Brothers with me in 1952…Elvis would’ve been my roadie.” – Ronnie Ha wkins
