 Silverbird is the long-time original music project led by David Leinweber. On the heels of last year’s successful release Silverbird comes Silverbird II, the project’s newest endeavor. Leinweber has played in a wide variety of venues and musical styles, ranging from rock, to blues, to folk, to gospel. He has been featured twice (2006 and 2009) as the "Flatpicking Professor" Dr. Leinweber at the Scottish Bluegrass Association Festival in Perth, Scotland and has also performed widely at regional acoustic music festivals in the South. He has shared the stage with many fine musicians. His influences include Dylan, Neil Young, The Dead, Clapton, Norman Blake and Doc Watson. Along with his lifelong interest in folk music, classic rock and country, and hymnody (what he calls “The Music of the People”), Leinweber is also a songwriter in his own rite. The new disc Silverbird II features 12 new Leinweber originals. Along with the musical end of songwriting, Leinweber takes lyrics very seriously and his songs on the new CD touch on wide range of topics and themes. Around town, people enjoy hearing Leinweber perform regularly with his group The Silverbird Duo – featuring Leinweber and fellow Silverbird Bob McMillan. With two Martin flat-top guitars, The Silverbird Duo plays a broad range of popular music, along with traditional and original selections. In addition to McMillan, the new Silverbird release Silverbird II also features fellow musicians Scott Lansburg on bass, Roger Crawford on pedal-steel, John Johnson on keyboards, and George Sandler on drums. A professor with twenty years of experience in the college classroom, Dr. Leinweber has also taught piano and guitar for many years. He has performed on many records, demos, and CDs by other artists. His music has been featured on radio and television and in many concerts throughout the Atlanta area. |
