Ron Weiss
Arrow & Heart
He’s best known in Ottawa as a vasectomy doctor, but Ron Weiss’ profile as a musician and
singer-songwriter took a giant step forward this year with the release of Arrow & Heart, a fully realized
collection of 10 original songs blending diverse musical styles including pop,
rhythm-and-blues and folk.
The album opens strongly with “Armageddon” and “You Gotta
Hold,” up-tempo pop tunes driven by polished horn arrangements, before slowing
down with “I Just Wanted You to Know,” a pretty love ballad.
Other highlights include “You Mean Everything,” another very
pretty love ballad, and “Be a Child,” a nostalgic series of childhood memories.
Arrow & Heart is
enhanced by 14 other Ottawa-based musicians and singers – among them drummer Jeff Asselin, vocalists Rebecca Noelle and Jeff Rogers, and saxophonist Brian
Asselin – who help Weiss bring these songs to life.
