Rhoda Weaver is a 48 year old woman who is an ever evolving. She is a mother, a wife, a friend, a singer, a lover of hiking and waterfalls, a food delivery driver, a writer, a storyteller, and an advocate for social justice. Rhoda is well known in the Asheville area for her powerful, soulful voice. But she suffered a vocal injury and has been slowly recovering for almost three years now. Music is still her passion. So although she was told by her doctors to try to take vocal rest, she still sings but not regularly. She is the lead singer of Rhoda and the Risers and they have been doing some livestream shows during the pandemic to stay active. They were playing every Tuesday night at Pillar rooftop bar inside the Hilton garden inn downtown before the COVID-19 lockdowns. They expect to be continuing to play on Tuesdays when restrictions are lifted. These days Rhoda devotes more time her children and to being a voice against racial Injustice while her singing voice is healing.
