The Patriotic Voice of the PBR
Fort Worth, Texas – NVRDUL Management LLC, a provider of professional management services to select actors, athletes, authors, musicians and celebrities throughout the United States, announced today the signing of U.S. Army combat veteran and country rocker, Ryan Weaver, to its music entertainment client roster.
In October 2017, Ryan Weaver was the first singer-songwriter artist to be signed to the record label recently launched by Professional Bull Riders CEO, Sean Gleason – PBR Music and related publishing company, Down in the Well. Weaver’s new full EP “Celebrate America” was recorded especially for the PBR. Releasing the album at the 2017 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals held in Las Vegas this past November, Weaver performed in the slot held last year by Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.
The album showcases Weaver as the new Patriotic Voice of the PBR’s Celebrate America campaign. Proceeds from the album’s hard copy sales that night benefited the U.S. Border Patrol Foundation. For the 2018 PBR season, Weaver will perform at select events as the Official Patriotic Voice of the PBR’s Celebrate America campaign, while his songs will be featured in PBR digital marketing, television broadcasts and social media campaigns.
The son of a Marine, Weaver is a 21-year Army combat veteran, having served as an enlisted Military Intelligence Analyst and, later in his military career, became a Chief Warrant Officer and Black Hawk pilot. After his 2003 tour in Iraq, Weaver returned from combat to train the next generation of Army aviators and officers at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Once back in the U.S., Weaver started singing in local Alabama bars, quickly moving up to larger venues and festivals throughout the South. After retiring from the military in 2012, Weaver is now recognized as a strong country rocker and has opened for artists including Charlie Daniels and George Jones, played with Lynyrd Skynyrd, performed at the Grand Ole Opry and this summer had the great honor of rocking 1,300 new cadets at West Point’s Cadet Acceptance Day.
Carri Hyde, CEO of NVRDUL said, “Watching Ryan take over the T-Mobile Arena as the closing night concert of the PBR World Finals, rocking some 20,000 country fans in attendance with his unique brand of all American country music was a moment I will not soon forget. Having lost both his brother, Army Chief Warrant Officer Aaron Weaver, who was killed in action in 2004, and his brother-in-law, Army Chief Warrant Officer Randy Billings in 2013, who was killed in action in Afghanistan, Ryan is no stranger to personal loss for military service, and his fans feel it in every red, white and blue note he sings. It is our honor to serve Ryan as his management and help him take his brand of country rock across the country with the PBR.”
Ryan Weaver’s first music video for his co-written song “Crank It” hit national television in 2014. In 2016, the music video for his co-written single “BURN” was released, which featured Benghazi survivors, John “Tig” Tiegen and Kris “Tanto” Paronto clips from the movie 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. Weaver’s latest album, “Celebrate American” is available on all major digital outlets, including iTunes and Google Play, with the album’s third single and video “Never Forgotten”having been released at the PBR World Finals concert.
