The new album by Chris Weaver, “Standing In Line” is a blend of rock, blues, and soul with a hint of country. The album is an eclectic mix of songs dedicated to those of us still trying to get our lives together sung from the emotional perspective of a raspy-voiced bluesman. Weaver collaborated with producer Josh Leo who worked in the funk, soul, and rock influences. View the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5fmhGph--A The titled song, Standing In Line likens back to the good old days… the hauled equipment, plastered flyers, stuffed jewel cases, sound checks, getting to play at the local bar in your hometown, these are the things that music are made of. This is a true tale of Chris Weaver as he made his way to Nashville from Grafton West Virginia and quickly realized that for every one trying to make their dream come true, there are ten more Standing In Line, just waiting for a chance to be discovered. The Nashville grown band has held together remarkably well and have since passed the mile markers that usually pull a band apart. For two and half years now they’ve been creating original songs and performing at the legendary Stage and the Tin Roof on a regular basis. The band is best known for their strong live performances with a sound that appeals to audiences from rock-n-roll and the country music worlds. Five members make up the band with Weaver on vocals and guitar, Matt “Ice” Iceman, drums, Cornelius “Corn” Perry, Bass, Jeff Harper -guitar, and Ben Owens, guitar. Although the band has not yet broken into mainstream, they have a strong cult following through their constant touring. They’ll be touring the South this fall including, Jackson, TN, Austin, TX, Knoxville, TN, Lexington, KY, Murfreesboro, TN, Columbia SC, Macon GA, Atlanta, GA, Starkville, MS, Birmingham, AL. Overall, the music feels like an old friend that you’d take on a long road trip. The songs range in their diversity from soulful sounds of Everything I Used To Be and ten years, to the melodic tunes Go Easy On me, So Damn Beautiful, and Travelin.
