LONG BEACH, Wash. —
Country/folk singer-song-
writer Dan Weber will
perform at 7 p.m. Satur-
day, May 14 at the Penin-
sula Arts Center.
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
