Gordon Lee Weaver was born in The Dalles, Oregon on June 18, 1960. The Weaver family lived in the small town of Maupin Oregon until the summer of 1973. The family then moved to the even smaller town of Tygh Valley Oregon. While in High School Gordon was exposed to the sonic power of the electric guitar. Gordon started playing in 1974. Lessons with guitar teacher Garth Chaney formed the foundation. At Garth’s urging Gordon and Henry Gable (another of Garth’s students) got to together and soon formed a band with the help of Henry’s brother Doug on drums and later Ben Troxel on bass and vocals. The band was unable to come up with a name and was given the moniker “Sunrise” by the High School librarian. Sunrise rehearsed frequently and played mostly High School dances. Sunrise played songs by Bachman Turner Overdrive, The Beatles, Chuck Berry, The Eagles, Foghat, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Ted Nugent, Queen, The Steve Miller Band and ZZ Top. Sunrise disbanded in the summer of 1978.

In the spring of 1979 Gordon took up residence in Portland Oregon and formed the Gordon Weaver Band with the charismaticTony Saiz on vocals, Randy Bennett on drums, Kenny Stocks on rhythm guitar and later Mike Deering on bass. The band developed a small following by playing AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth, Van Halen and original tunes at parties and lasted until the fall of 1979.
