Michelle Weger and her band serve the Lord in excellence; so much to the point that at the close of my event, Dr. Jeana Tomlinson, senior minister at New Covenant Ministries in Jacksonville, asked that you come and minister at her church. She loves you guys. You all are truly annointed in Praise and Worship and ushering in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Most of all, I personally love what you guys stand for, God. I would love for you all to come back again and again to minister your beautiful music. - Tyrone K. Sullivan

Bio
It has been said that the best art comes out of the journey of life and Michelle Weger's music certainly echoes the steps of her journey. With an uncommon blend of female vocals, acoustic tones, and honest lyrics, Weger offers music that is filled with passion and praise for the God who continues to carry her.
Weger began teaching herself to play guitar at age eleven and songs began to come out almost instantly. By age 14 she was sharing her original music at local churches, festivals, and anywhere else people would listen. When music failed to translate into tangible opportunity, Weger graduated from high school early and joined the United Stated Air Force Reserves. During her training she began leading worship for the Keesler Air Force Base Protestant Contemporary Worship Service. After training Weger returned home and began attending Southeastern University, studying theology and youth ministry.
Constantly exposed to the significant music culture on the university campus, Weger grew frustrated that her military obligations prevented her from committing to a group or traveling during the summers. Other than leading worship at a local youth group, Weger put down her guitar and stopped writing music. At the end of her junior year, Weger's little brother, Ryan, lost his battle with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Knowing what a fan Ryan was of music and his sister, Michelle picked her guitar and pen back up and wrote, "Remember." And she hasn't put them down since.
During her senior year, Weger was helping launch new young adult ministry at a local church. When the planned worship leader backed out in the 11th hour, Weger was asked to step up and take it on. That is exactly what she did. This experience reignited her passion for worship and music. Weger graduated from college in May of 2008 and In March of 2009, released her first full length album, "Embers of Faith." The album is a chronicle of the songs Weger wrote from age 11-22 and the recording closes out with the reviving tune, "Remember."
Currently, Michelle and the guys are writing new songs and creating new sounds, with hearts for worship and hope.
