Biography

Alex Weir is an American guitarist. Weir came to prominence in the 1970s with the funk/R&B band the Brothers Johnson. He is the cousin of fellow band members George and Louis Johnson. He went on to work with the bands Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, both on their albums and in concert. He appears in Talking Heads' 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense. Additionally, Weir has worked as a session musician with a variety of artists, including Toni Childs. He worked on several Jerry Harrison (of Talking Heads) solo albums, including the critically acclaimed Casual Gods, released in 1988. The album spawned the US Mainstream Rock chart hit single "Rev It Up", which peaked at No. 7 in late 1987.
