One and Only in Bloomington, MN

The second artist signed to
Fervent
Records,
Big Daddy Weave
released their debut project,
One and Only
, in July 2002. Composed of lead vocalist and guitarist
Mike Weaver
, bass player
Jay Weaver
, electric guitarist
Jeremy Redmon
, saxophonist and keyboard player
Joseph Shirk
, and percussionist
Jeff Jones
,
offers listeners an
acoustic pop
sound. Produced by
FFH
frontman
Jeromy Deibler
has resulted in the group being compared to the likes of the
Dave Matthews Band
and
Steven Curtis Chapman
. With the songs on
and with each performance,
hopes to see the focus and attention be on the message of the music and less on the image of the band. In fact,
told
Records, "My prayer every night is that you would get me and everyone else out of the way and bring Jesus to the front, because that's the image we need to portray. That's what I want people to know -- when they saw
, they saw Jesus." This desire is clearly illustrated in each track, most specifically
"Audience of One."
Additional tracks include
"In Christ,"
"Sacrifice,"
"Rest."
