<"b0000589lv2999"> About the Artist
Rolling out of Cincinnati, this five piece powerhouse has been spreading its unique brand of funk, jazz and jam oriented rock all over the Midwest and eastern parts of the United States. HEAVY WEATHER has a loyal regional following and tours non stop in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia. HEAVY WEATHER has shared the stage with Fishbone, Marcy's Playground, The Jerry Garcia Band, Merle Saunders and The Rainforest Band, Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise, Jonell Mosser and Thornetta Davis. In 1999 HEAVY WEATHER was invited by MCY.COM to perform at the IMX INTERACTIVE MUSIC EXPO. The Band was named "Best Local Band" in 1998 by Cincinnati Fax News and was also nominated by the Cincinnati Enquirer for "Best Soul/Funk Band" that same year. This exposure has helped HEAVY WEATHER craft a dynamic and sophisticated live show that has become their trademark throughout the region.

Founded in 1992 by brother and sister duo Chris and Carole Walker, HEAVY WEATHER assumed its name from the landmark Weather Report album of the same name. The Band has survived a myriad of line up changes but always at the eye of the storm you will find the thick pulsating organic bass lines of Chris Walker and the awesome powerful diva like vocals of Carole Walker, who mixes influences that range from Nina Simone to Etta James to create sounds that will capture your ear as well as your heart. The brother and sister combo is joined by seven string wonder John "The BIZKIT" Gentry on Guitar, Danny Sauers handles triple duty on Saxophone, percussion and harmonica and Tim Hensley drops phat super tight beats on Drums. These five individuals form a unique blend of a wide range of influences into a brand new style that will make your soul smile. It does not matter if you slow dance or bang your head, HEAVY WEATHER simply rocks the house. Next time you find yourself caught in HEAVY WEATHER, take the bands advice and "Let the music groove you! Let the music groove you down!" (Lyrics from Heavy Weather’s "Jus Gimme Dat Wacky")

<"b0000589lv4999"> Album Description
Energy and passion have found a partner in music. This partnership has a refreshingly original sound rooted in the old schools of funk, rock and soul. Mixing these elements with the politics of pain and happiness create a sound that can only be described as HEAVY WEATHER. The Music of HEAVY WEATHER cannot be confined to your one-word genres or catch phrases. HEAVY WEATHER’S philosophy is based on the GROOVE. The GROOVE is what holds it all together. All of the elements of the past have come together to create this new movement. This 10-song epic captures all of the raw energy of HEAVY WEATHER in the winter of 1999 on its home turf, "RIPLEY’S ALIVE".
