Ray Weaver
2018-12-10 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Halifax)
Ray Weaver returns to 49 West with more songs and stories from his book ‘A Father’s Heart’ on December 10, 2018.
Since debuting the live version of ‘A Father’s Heart’ at 49 West in December, 2016, Ray has performed the project around the world and turned it into a podcast.
‘A Father’s Heart’ collects some of Ray’s best-loved stories and songs into a multimedia package that includes links to stream or download nine songs that relate to the stories of family, life and love included in the collection.
From heartfelt stories of Christmases past to rollicking tales of hunting wild refrigerators, ‘A Father’s Heart’ looks at parents, grandparents, wives, husbands and children with tenderness, humour and above all, love.
Ray has the rare ability to transform life into songs and stories that are intensely personal, yet still touch a universal chord.
His short stories have been published as part of the Rocking Chair Reader series and in many magazines and newspapers.
“The writing talent here is really pretty formidable,” said Doug Floyd of altcountrytab.com. “The names of Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clarkall spring to mind.”
Ray plays pubs, concerts and festivals throughout the United States and in Europe. A seasoned performer, Ray is sure to add a couple of your favourites to the show, including some choice holiday selections.
