Larry Weir began his music career in the San Diego area in 1967. As a singer/guitarist inspired by the Beatles and composers Burt Bacharach & Jimmy Webb, Larry Weir formed a pop band "The Royal Enterprise" comprised of brother Tom Weir (now a renowned recording engineer), sister Maria Werth (who has become a teacher/session bass player) and a few neighbors. The band had a local radio hit with one of Larry Weir first compositions in 1968, "Boy It's All In Your Head".

In 1970 Larry Weir's family, comprised of mother Maria, a classical pianist and Larry, his architect/builder father, along with 8 brothers and sisters, moved to the city of Oxnard in Ventura County. While attending his senior year at Oxnard High, he recruited many of the siblings in forming a band called "The Family". It was also during this time that Larry Weir wrote, produced, acted and starred in three original musicals. "Island" in 1971 while attending Ventura College in 1971, "Hobos Jungle" in '72 & "House On Crossroad Alley" in 1973, all part of the Ventura County Youth Experimental Theatre, a group that he co-founded with Maria and Tom. The shows were all critical successes and were performed for thousands in the Ventura Country area. "I can't believe we even pulled those productions off", said Larry from his home in the West Hollywood, CA area that he shares with his wife of eight years, Masika Swain. "These musicals were huge productions that involved massive set designs (many constructed by my father), choreography, costumes, actors, singers, dancers along with a full orchestra", Larry Weir added. In 1974 the family moved back to the San Diego area leaving the musical era behind to concentrate on the new and improved family band, The Weirz, that now comprised all nine members of the family. A year later they found their first radio success by winning a spot of KGB radio's "Homegrown #3" with an autobiographical song called "Gypsies From Bonsall". The album sold over 50,000 copies in the local area and inspired the band to record a solo album "The Weirz" ('76) leading them to the Los Angeles area to be closer to the record industry.

In 2008 the "Brothers Weir" formed Caption Records. The first releases have garnered critical, sales and chart success including "Teen Witch/The Musical", Country recording artist Buck McCoy's Top Dog album, and the soundtrack for the motion picture "Moondance Alexander", which was written and directed by little brother Michael Damian. Larry composed and produced 6 out of the 12 tracks on the album. "Teen Witch the Musical" for which Larry also contributed to book, music & lyrics is "Broadway Bound". His National Record Promotion continues to be one of the top radio promotion companies in the nation & his work with ventures like the Independent Music Network & the Artists Management Firm keeps him at the top of the music industry.
