Big Daddy Weave

In an industry where there’s usually a pretty sizeable chasm between the artists and their audience, there’s never been anything flashy or pretentious about the guys of Big Daddy Weave—and that’s just the way they like it.

Big Daddy Weave is a bunch of ordinary guys with an extraordinary job. They love every minute of it because of the people they meet and minister to along the way. Comprised of Mike Weaver (lead vocals, guitar), his brother Jay Weaver (bass, vocals), Jeremy Redmon (guitar), Joe Shirk (sax, keyboards) and Jeff Jones (drums), the group got its start after they met at the University of Mobile.

Between recording and touring regularly for the past decade, the band has amassed a considerable catalog of fan favorites including “Audience of One,” “Every Time I Breathe,” “Fields of Grace,” “In Christ,” “Without You” and “What Life Would Be Like.” Big Daddy Weave compiled their favorite songs into an Ultimate Collection album released in the fall of 2011, and added their newest "Love Come To Life" to the collection.

Not content to simply rest on their musical laurels, however, the group is always intentional about “somehow communicating the Word placed on their hearts to the hearts of those who hear it” rather than simply writing a catchy piece of ear candy.

To revive the creative spark that can often grow dull after years on the road, the band traveled to Ecuador with World Vision, to get a first-hand glimpse of the organization they’ve always talked about from stage. It was through that life-changing experience that the band’s passion for souls was ignited yet again; a passion that is displayed through the band’s most recent work, What Life Would Be Like (2008) and the band’s first Christmas effort, Christ is Come.

“God used that trip to re-ignite the fire in us as a group,” Mike shares. “We haven’t been the same since we got back.”
