Haling from Ottawa, Prufrock Shadowrunner has become a highly regarded figure in the world of spoken word and hip-hop, equally at home behind his turntables or standing alone in the spotlight reciting poetry. Possessing an unparalleled ability with language, his passion and vision range widely, expressing things many of us feel, but few can say.
Baltimore born Ryan Weber of The Weber Brothers began a life in music at a very young age. Picking up the bass at 11 years old along with younger brother Sam on guitar, their intense passion for 50’s and 60’s music eventually landed them at the doorstep of legendary Rockabilly front man Ronnie Hawkins. Hawkins instilled in them an education and work ethic that few could endure. Ten years, nine albums, and 1000’s of shows later, The Weber Brothers continue to tour and perform constantly. Ryan has cultivated a style all his own both on bass and as a vocalist. “My goal is that when I hit that string and slide up the neck you can feel the Earth shake and hear the trees moan,” he says. Known far and wide for his high-energy style of performing, and awarded multiple times for his bass playing and singing, he is also a prolific and highly developed songwriter. Unafraid of baring raw, intense emotion in song, his writing reveals an honesty anyone can relate to and wishes we all share.
Meeting through mutual friend and collaborator CR Avery in October 2013, these 2 creators from vastly different backgrounds found they shared common ground in many areas neither could have foreseen. Finding a similar outlook and subject matter at the root of each of their respective work, an idea was hatched to perform a show together. Featuring much of Prufrock’s spoken word prowess interwoven with punctuation’s of Ryan’s songs and bass, “Shadows and Webs” is a showing of a depth deeper than either imagined it would be. The roller coaster of words and emotions is as thrilling as it is touching, as far reaching as it is intimate. This one of a kind union of two acclaimed artists at the very peak of their creativity has to be seen to be believed.
