Pineapple Productions is excited to announce our May Stone Hall Sessions concert in Havelock, Ontario - featuring 'the baddest band in the land' The Weber Brothers.
One night, as teenagers, Ryan and Sam Weber left their home in Baltimore, Maryland with the aim of meeting their idol - rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins. Ten hours later, they showed up at his doorstep. “The Hawk”, the elder statesman of rock whose former protégés went on to reshape music history as “The Band”, was duly impressed by the pair’s immense raw talent, and promptly invited them to audition for his storied backing band, The Hawks. Mere months later, after surviving the intense musical apprenticeship of his fabled “Rock ‘n’ Roll Boot-camp,” they were in: full-blooded Hawks. By the ages of 18 and 21 they had already performed alongside Kris Kristofferson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Jeff Healey and the Tragically Hip to name a few.
Over the past 18 years they’ve recorded 17 independent albums and toured extensively throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
In October 2012 the brothers were invited to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame American Music Masters Tribute to Chuck Berry in Cleveland where they shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Lemmy Kilmister, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Rick Derringer, Joe Bonamassa, Earl Slick, Steve Jordan and the father of Rock and Roll himself, Chuck Berry.
2016 saw the release of Before We Arrive: The Story of The Weber Brothers, a feature length documentary chronicling the pair's musical journey, which the Toronto Independent Film Festival dubbed Best Documentary for 2016.
The brothers have recorded on hundreds of outside projects, including work with Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Ronnie Hawkins and Willie Nelson.
Between their renowned musical ability, high-energy, awe-inspiring performances and lessons learned first hand from rock n’ roll pioneers, a reputation as the “Baddest Band in the Land”, “heroes of this generation” and “the future in the big shoes of the past” now precedes them. The Weber Brothers always deliver.
“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.
"The Weber Brothers are the ultimate roots band, playing, writing and doing it all." - Bob Mersereau, Top 100 Canadian Blog
"If I had The Weber Brothers with me in 1952...Elvis would've been my roadie." - Ronnie Hawkins
