A Father’s Heart collects stories and songs by singer/songwriter Ray Weaver into a multimedia package that includes nine songs that relate to the stories of family, life, and love included in the collection. From heartfelt recollections of Christmases past to rollicking days of hunting wild refrigerators, A Father’s Heart looks at parents, grandparents, wives, husbands and, of course, children with tenderness, humour, and above all, love. Available from Audible and Amazon, Ray’s music is also available wherever you get your music.
Ray Weaver is the consummate performer. Originally from Pasadena, Maryland. His show, A Father’s Heart and many of his songs include stories of growing up in the area and harken to memories of a Maryland of days gone by. Although he currently lives in Denmark , Ray will always be a “son of Maryland” in his heart.
His love of being in front of an audience is obvious at every show. His seemingly endless repertoire and ability to please any audience combines with his love for country, blues, rock ‘n roll, the great Irish songs, his own stellar original tunes and his unique take on modern chart hits to create a show audiences remember and come back to see again and again.
