Weinberg has been in the spotlight since his early days with Springsteen’s backup ensemble, the E Street Band.

In his travels over the industry’s landscape, he’s played with such musicians as Paul McCartney, Barbara Streisand, Sting, Pete Townsend of the Who and Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones.
