Music of the Mountains/Mountain Folk Tales: James Carnes of Finding Neverland

Brothers Luke and Heath Weaver founded the Christian metalcore band Finding Neverland in 2012, with Luke on guitar and Heath on vocals. Luke was previously involved with the band Gentlemen Speak Up, which he played in during his time at Georgia Southern.

After moving to Colorado Springs in 2011, Luke and Heath formed the new band. Heath and another member ultimately decided to step away from music, and the band went on hiatus in 2015.

James Carnes went to high school with both of the brothers, and while attending CU Boulder, Luke learned that Carnes had always wanted to try music. The two ultimately revived Finding Neverland in 2019 with Carnes as the new vocalist.

The band is currently based in Black Hawk. Luke permanently moved to the Peak-to-Peak area in 2018, with his family already connected to the area. Carnes moved to Central City after graduating from CU Boulder, having fallen in love with the area.
