Captain Hook is a rock band based out of Jacksonville, Florida. The line up is unique, professional, and musically talented. This five - piece band is a group of friends that Weaver, the founding member, has encountered during his time in Florida.
Guitarist / singer / songwriter Weaver was a founding member of the band "The Well" which formed in Pittsburgh, PA in 1997 and relocated to Jacksonville, FL in 2001. Weaver began performing a solo / acoustic set and simultaneously began jamming rock n roll with a rotating group of musical friends he met along the way.
In 2005, Weaver recorded and produced his first solo album, "Transfer," and formed the "Safety 1st Band" which brought in bassist Dell "Armondo" Hand. Dell grew up in Jacksonville and has played many styles of music from punk, funk, ska, and country, to the rock n roll that Captain Hook delivers every night.
Caitlin Johnson, a St. Augustine native, was a guitar student of Weaver's when she recorded backing vocals on Weaver's "Transfer" CD. In a few short years she became a respected guitarist / singer / songwriter. Caitlin can be heard belting the blues or rocking to the classics.
Eventually, the band reunited with veteran Jacksonville drummer, Tony Marinaccio, who also played in "The Well" and the Jacksonville based "Matt Rage Band."
Toby McWilliams officially joined the band in August 2010 for the annual summer tour. Toby can shred and his ferocious guitar playing and attention to detail is a product of listening to and studying all the greats, old and new. Just as important, Toby's vocals combined with Weaver and Caitlin's creates a strong three part harmony not heard in most rock bands these days.
In the last year, Captain Hook has gained some momentum opening for national acts such as Jimmy Van Zandt and David Allan Coe and winning the 2010 and 2011 "Battle of the Genres" at the Taste of St. Augustine festival.
Captain Hook has received approximately 140 profile views in the last three months.
Captain Hook is one of 729 bands, DJs, entertainers, and speakers in Florida and among 7,245 bands, DJs, entertainers, and speakers listed nationwide on GatheringGuide.com.
