A founding member of Eisley, Weston DuPree has been with the band since they were the Towheads. His role as drummer means that he is usually positioned towards the back of the stage, making good photographs of Weston terribly rare. Weston's chief instruments are, of course, of the percussive nature. He's been known to play his father's vintage drum set, and on at least one song recorded for Room Noises, he even utilized a cast-iron set.

Weston often provides comic relief, as evidenced in a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of the band. His partner in crime is bassist and cousin Garron. Weston is ridiculously tall, and some say he bears a strong resemblance to Richard Ashcroft. He has a girlfriend named Jessie, who runs the Eisley merchandise booth when the band play shows around their hometown.

Um, let's think... I'll start with a short history of the band: basically, Stacy got upset one day because our two older sisters (Chauntelle and Sherri) wouldn't let her come in and play songs with them (and their friend), so she got mad and went and wrote our first song. At that time it wasn't MossEisley, although the members were the same (except Jon)... and I was still learning to play drums. Over time we wrote and got to play a lot because our family ran a coffee/club rock venue (BrewTones Coffee Galaxy) and we got to play there, meet all the bands and hang out with them (many spent the night with us); that was good because it raised our standard as far as learning what "good bands" sounded like.

I guess Eisley is unique, in that we're siblings; we all grew up in the same environment with the same music. Besides the fact that God has blessed us with the ability to play music... he has also blessed us with cool parents that listened to music, which means they've supported us. That makes all the difference in the world. Early on our parents were always blasting all kinds of different music (and still do) - stuff like classic rock, 60s rock, the Beatles, Michael McDonald, Phil Keaggy, Mr. Mister, Phil Collins, Lionel Richey, etc... Then we began studying some of the great rock records of all time like Dark Side of the Moon, OK Computer, and our library has grown from there.

We've all grown up in a big family that was very loving (even JOn grew up in a big family who were very close to each other), which is why so many people just love to be around us... we were raised to love each other so I guess it's our nature to pour out love on people. And we want to show love to who we play for and who we meet.

As far as our sound goes, I think it comes from us all living under the same roof (except Jon and he listens to the same stuff and styles we do). We just about all have the same influences, we all love the same stuff. When we go on trips, we always pick from THE CD case and we all like everything in THE CD case.

I might be a little more diverse in my taste for music. These are my MOST favorite bands of all time: Toto, Gino Vannelli, Living Colour, Radiohead, Whitesnake, Dave Matthews Band, Bella Fleck/Flecktones, etc.

My absolute favorite drummers are: Dave Weckl, Jeff Porcaro, Dave Coulhoon.

I think my part in Eisley is a helpful one. I'm good at fixing things (i.e. our gear). I also have been running sound almost half my life. That comes in handy when I hear Stacy go, "Weston where does this cord go?" Or stuff like "Will you fix my Rhodes? It sounds like poo..." Or "Can you help me move my keyboards?" Or I can just hear Chauntelle say, "Weston, help! My amp's not working," like, right before the curtains open. I can usually help out. But they're turning into better gear heads since we've been playing so much... and that's good.
