My name is James Weaver. In the 1960s I played lead guitar with Red Beard & The Pirates, a band from Blue Ridge, Georgia.

I played lead guitar and co-wrote our recording “Go On Leave,” which decades later became a collectible garage-rock 45 and appeared on compilations including Back From The Grave, Psychedelic States: Georgia in the 60s, and Keb Darge & Cut Chemist Present The Dark Side.

Now I'm 76 years old, and instead of retiring from music, I've started releasing music again as Weaver Studios.

My recent release is “Hold Me Higher,” an adult-contemporary power ballad. I'm also working on additional releases, including the instrumental “High Rider Highway.”

The technology has changed enormously since I first walked into a recording studio. Today I'm combining more than 60 years of songwriting and musical experience with modern recording technology and AI-assisted music production.

Ask me anything about making records in the 1960s, playing guitar, garage rock, songwriting, what the music business was like then versus today, AI-assisted music production, or what it's like to start releasing music again at 76.
