Hamilton, ON – Back on stage at The Westdale by popular demand, The Weber Brothers return to Hamilton to debut their 18th album live on May 8.
It has become part of Canadian music folklore….back in December 2000, teenaged brothers Ryan and Sam Weber drove 12 hours north to show up on the doorstep of their hero, rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins, aka “The Hawk”.
Now, some 25 years later, The Weber Brothers are still at it. Between live performances, traveling, producing and recording over the last quarter century, it is no stretch to describe them as prolific. Highly regarded for their proficiency as studio musicians, the brothers have recorded on hundreds of outside projects, including work with Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Ronnie Hawkins and Willie Nelson.
The new album, self-titled “The Weber Brothers” will mark their 18th full-length independent release. “It’s been a real good start,” Ryan remarks.
“I’m really proud of how this one turned out,” Sam Weber says. “We’ve released a lot of music over the years, so it’s always an interesting challenge to try something new.”
Fresh off the heels of the live-off-the-floor “Water Street Trilogy” collection, “The Weber Brothers” new, self-titled album is more studio creation than raw rock and roll.
“This is some of the more emotional music we’ve done, so that was really the top priority. Did we capture the “feeling” on these tracks? Sometimes you have to find a different way home,” Sam adds. “I think it’s some of our best stuff yet.”
