He is currently touring Europe and will be in the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
 
 I think he'll be starting US dates in May

  "Country-rooted Americana full of weary determination and aphoristic clarity." Jon Pareles, NEW YORK TIMES
 
 ??Not the kind of thing to play on a sunny Sunday morning, but it may be the best thing for a spooky Saturday night. Weaver pulls it off... out on the edge.? Bill Flanagan, CBS Sunday Morning
 
 "like a hillbilly Leonard Cohen." - Sylvie Simmons, MOJO
 
 musical postcards that recall a rural Tom Waits, or Greg Brown in his dark, bluesy moments. Hes like that spooky old guy who lives in a trailer but tells amazing stories. - Kieth Goetzman, UTNE
