On November 5, Chris Weaver Band will release the new album, American Dreamer, showcasing their country rock ‘n’ roll.
Catch the details in the press release:
Coming off the critical success of their debut record Standing in Line, the new music showcases Weaver’s soulful, gritty passion in a collection of songs that define the American fabric – determination, love, family life, faith in a higher power, and the hopefulness of the American Dream.
Recorded in Nashville, Weaver teamed up with former Jimmy Buffett and Glenn Frey guitarist and legendary producer, Josh Leo (Alabama, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Timothy B. Schmit) on American Dreamer. Notable contributors include Jack Pearson on slide guitar, Kim Carnes on background vocals, Tony Harrell on keyboards, Steve Mackey on bass and Tom Bukavac on guitar.
Drawing from influences ranging from Tom Petty to Joe Cocker, American Dreamer features rootsy Americana, gospel, country, blues and rock. Known for his working-man anthems, Weaver co-wrote all songs on the album. From the emotive album opener “Gravy Train,” soulful tracks “Raise The Dead” and “California High” to the breezy ballad “I Should Have Said That” and the Springsteen-esque “Time Has Wings”, Weaver is a lyrical craftsman who’s music is both riveting and unclassifiable.
“It’s been quite the journey to this point,” said Weaver. “Standing In Line opened a lot of doors for me. American Dreamer is me.”
The Chris Weaver Band will be touring extensively throughout the year. They’ll bring their full-throttle energetic performances to venues throughout the country.
