Nashville, Tenn. (May 23, 2025) — Beloved Curb Records band Big Daddy Weave officially releases Let It Begin, their first album in six years, today (5/23) — listen HERE.

Big Daddy Weave welcomes a season of personal healing on Let It Begin, their long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s When The Light Comes. With songs that tell the story of a God who has met them in the depths of their grief, the fresh set boasts selections of unwavering hope, including chart-topping hits “Heaven Changes Everything” and “God Is In This Story (feat. Katy Nichole),” emotional sendoff “Jaybird,” honoring the life and legacy of bandmate, lead singer, and Mike Weaver’s brother, Jay Weaver, and the anthemic title-cut. Let It Begin was produced by the outfit’s own Jeremy Redmon, with additional production credits by Matt Maher and Jeff Pardo.

Giving fans an in-depth look at the stories behind the songs that shape Let It Begin, the group continues to unveil new episodes of “Cabin Conversations,” a video series where Weaver sits down with co-writers and friends to discuss each track at length — watch HERE. More videos, stories and conversations will be unpacked in the coming weeks.

The collective additionally ushers in the new project with a nod for Group of the Year ahead of the 12th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards. Voting ends tonight, but fans can still vote HERE until 6 p.m. CT. Winners will be announced publicly when the K-LOVE Fan Awards airs on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) May 30, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. CT / 7:30 p.m. ET.

Leading up to today’s eagerly anticipated album drop, Big Daddy Weave’s frontman, Mike Weaver, appeared on a Mother’s Day special that aired across the K-LOVE Radio Network, sharing memories about his late mother. He also recently sat down with labelmate Hannah Kerr to reflect on how he and his bandmates have held onto hope in the midst of immense loss and tragedy on the debut episode of Kerr’s “In the Middle of It” podcast — listen to the full conversation HERE.

Following a spring leg that saw multiple sell-outs, Big Daddy Weave will resume their popular “Let It Begin Tour” June 10 in support of their new record. Chart-topping singer-songwriter Ben Fuller and buzzworthy newcomer Megan Woods will once again join the lineup.
