The Weber Brothers are set to release their fifth cd in as many years on June 30th 2007, entitled “Exhibition”. Listeners can expect a mix of edgy rock n’ roll and guitar driven rockabilly, as well as a few choice ballads on this latest Weber’s release. The disc’s fourteen songs were recorded at Haggarty Sound Studio in Peterborough, ON which captured the band’s refined swell and roll, rich in textures and depth. Ryan Weber’s upright bass, the drumming of Jeff Webster and three part harmony lay the foundation of “Exhibition.” Reinforced by controlled explosions, ablaze with intensity and climactic overtones from the double guitars of Sam Weber and Shane Pinchen. “Dont’ Let Your Baby Down” Track 14, offers a broad palette of instrumentation that calls on some majestic and soaring strings.
“We had just come off a cross-Canada tour when we decided to do this record. After three or four months of playing and rehearsing the tunes everyday, we figured it the best time to hit the studio,” states Sam Weber. The same kind of “practise and play” regiment the group learned from their mentor and sometimes band leader, rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins. “I guess Ronnie put this band together. Ryan and I have been playing together forever, but we were always on the lookout for a couple of like-minded guys to fill out the band. A few years ago Ronnie brought in Shane (Pinchen) and Jeff (Webster) to the “Hawks”, and the four of us decided to try and get our own thing going. Since then it’s been pretty much shows, rehearsals and take-out.” states Sam Weber
What they say about The Weber Brothers THE WEBER BROTHERS-LOST AND FOUND (2004) NOW MAGAZINE-CD REVIEW “Imagine a band so indebted to the likes of Bob Dylan, the Band and Dr. John that their music comes off like the last 25 years never happened, straight-up rock devoid of pretense or any definable link to Cobain or Yorke, played by two young guys. That’s the Weber Brothers. Sure, they cut their teeth backing up Ronnie Hawkins, but they find their own voice on Lost And Found, their second album. In melodically complex rock numbers, saxes, trumpets and trombones add subtle textures to Sam’s world-weary voice, which has developed a unique timbre only hinted at on the Webers’ debut set… If you’re searching for the perfect disc to spin between Desire and Music From Big Pink, look no further.” NNNN-NOW Rating Critics Pick > BY BRENT RAYNOR
