About this user

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, Pennsylvania in 1997 and relocated to Jacksonville, Florida in 2001. The band enjoyed some years of substantial success from Pennsylvania to Florida supporting their album, "Strange Bird". After The Well broke up, 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 Florida native, was still in high school, learning guitar, and discovering her voice when she recorded backing vocals on Weaver's "Transfer" CD. In a few short years following, she instantly became a respected and popular guitarist/singer/songwriter. Caitlin can be heard belting the blues, or rocking to the classics up and down the length of the East Coast. At first glance, Caitlin may appear as a quiet soul but once she is behind the microphone or strummin on her Les Paul, her powerful lead vocals and guitar skills captivate the crowd. Caitlin is currently attending college, while she continues to pursue her passion...music.

Captain Hook had a few line up changes as it developed. Some walked the plank voluntarily and some were tossed overboard, but the live shows never stopped happening. Eventually, the band reunited with veteran Jacksonville drummer, Tony Marinaccio, who also played in the band The Well, years before. Many folks will also remember Tony from playing in the Jacksonville based Matt Rage Band.

Toby McWilliams officially joined the band in August 2010 for the annual summer tour. Toby can shred. 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. They won the 2010 and 2011 "Battle of the Genres" at the Taste of St. Augustine festival, held at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Captain Hook has also enjoyed some charity work in the local community such as playing music for the Annual Vietnam/Legacy Veterans Motorcycle Toy Run and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Every August, the band takes a road trip up the East coast all the way to Pennsylvania where they play in Weaver's hometown and put on an annual outdoor festival called "Weavestock" that will reach its 15th year in 2011. A new CD is "in the works" for 2011.

The fans of Captain Hook call it "the rock show." The show is different every night. The band plays with energy and enthusiasm because that's what they love to do and the audience enjoys this. Captain Hook avoids the overplayed covers you hear many bands doing. Captain Hook mixes their original music with unique covers from many eras and genres that make people say, "I don't believe they're playing that."
