Music and mission are intertwined for songwriter Adam Weber. The Muncie, Ind., native wields his axe - namely the acoustic-electric guitar - with the confidence of one who knows where he's been and where he's going. His distinct voice breathes life into inspired words of faith, hope and love. There's redemption to be found in those words, and it's much bigger and more boundless than anything Weber himself could aspire to offer. A theme of home, even of going home, is woven through Weber's musical tapestry as he explores topics of renewal and relationships. To be sure, he's a wanderer in a strange land, but he's not content to simply abide there. Leaning in for what this fleeting life holds next is key to Weber's mantra of taking nothing for granted and erasing all debts. On "Perfect World," from his latest offering, "All I'm Not," Weber sings, "I've grown up and I've grown tired, I'm growing old of being uninspired/ But at least now I'm finally growing." He alternates fluidly between the vulnerability of a brooding romantic and the hope of a man who knows he has an inheritance in wait for him that outweighs all else. This is captured in the experience of Adam's live show, an eclectic mix of storytelling, both spoken and sung, humor and raucous energy. The songs have a raw feel to the ear, something like Christmas presents void of gratuitous wrapping or neat bows. Nothing is neat about Adam's story set to music; he wrote these songs to heal his own aching heart. If life is a soundtrack, Adam has found his perfect therapy in the music he writes and plays. Now others who can relate to the plaintive, honest musings blended with an exquisite hope are being helped to find healing or just simply live life as it was intended, to the fullest. Indeed, in often taking a narrative approach to his storytelling, Adam has realized that he's not the main character in his own biography. It's about people. He thrives off of people. In turn, his songs sound as if they've just bled freshly out of him behind a bedroom door. As Adam sees it, life is a voyage. And it's all about that voyage.
