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. The new album, self titled “The Weber Brothers” will mark their 18th full length independent release. “It’s been a real good start,” Ryan said in a press release.

“I’m really proud of how this one turned out,” Sam said. “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 then 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.”

On May 14, The Weber Brothers perform at Flato Academy Theatre in Lindsay to commemorate their 18thalbum.

Opening for The Weber Brothers is Matthew Holtby. Hailing from Warkworth, Ontario, he has been honing his craft as a songwriter and performer for nearly two decades, producing original and emotive music that strikes a chord with audiences. Tickets are $40 and are available at https://www.flatoacademytheatre.com/whats-on/the-weber-brothers.
