Levi Weaver is an American singer and songwriter. Born in Colorado and raised in Texas, Weaver moved to Birmingham, England in 2005 after his former band (coincidentally named "Stories Of London") broke up. He released his first EP, the self-recorded "Civil War Between My Heart and Mind," in April of 2006.[1]. This EP has since been licensed to Respect Music, a publishing company in England.
During the fall of 2006, Weaver toured with Kid Beyond and Imogen Heap. Both Weaver and Kid Beyond opened for Heap, and also supported her during her sets as part of her band.
Due to the extended absence from his job in England while touring, Weaver lost his British visa and in February of 2007 moved back to the United States. He currently resides in or near Nashville, TN.
After three separate announced-then-rescheduled release dates, Weaver's first full-length album, "You Are Never Close To Home, You Are Never Far From Home" was finally made available at a CD Release show in Fort Worth, Texas at the Ridglea Theater. The official release date has been announced as January 6th, though the album was available on iTunes before 2007 was over.
In early 2008, Weaver posted a blog on his website and myspace page, informing people in the Western United States that he was planning on doing a house tour. From April 1st through May 3rd, Weaver drove around most of the Western half of the country in a 1992 Honda Accord, playing 24 shows in several states. He has indicated that he plans to do the same for the Eastern United States later in the year.

Weaver wrote "Del Cielo" to cope with a family tragedy. At 17, Weaver and his 13-year-old brother were involved in a car accident; Weaver suffered minimal injuries while, tragically, his brother passed.
