An ex-park ranger, Weber follows the tra- dition of songwriting legends by entertaining audiences with energetic performances and telling hilarious, true stories from the many roads he’s traveled. Described as “the classic mid-life overnight sensation,” Weber began performing later in life at age 40. Songs from his debut CD “Ash and Bone” received accolades from American Songwriter Magazine and the Great American Songwriting Contest; the U.K.’s Mav- erick Magazine said: “4 Stars: Has you hanging on to every word. That’s the touch of a true mas- ter craftsman songwriter, quite indispensable.” A gifted storyteller and performer, Weber won an award at the 2015 Walnut Valley Festival NewSong contest in Kansas for his tribute to Woody Guth- rie on his album “Oh Woody,” which rose to No. 2 on the folk charts. He also won third place in the prestigious 8 9 18 19 22 23 24 26 27 30 35 41 56 57 61 44 52 58 77 67 88 93 98 108 101 121 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 91 96 103 104 111 112 118 119 120 122 123 124 2013 Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition and the silver award in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.
