Biography
Weinberg is the son of drummer Max Weinberg, who joined the E Street Band in 1974.[2] As a child, he played ice hockey as a goaltender.[1][3] At age 9 he first saw the E Street Band on their 1999–2000 Reunion Tour.[1] He began playing drums at age 14, mostly self-taught and without instruction from his father[1] but using his father's old gear.[4] By the next year he had performed a guest appearance on stage with screamo band The Used and subsequently with punk rockers The Bouncing Souls.[1]
He attends Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.[4]
His first appearance with Springsteen was in the summer of 2008, filling in for his father on "Born to Run" at Giants Stadium after having watched many other performances during the Magic Tour.[1] Springsteen's 2009 Working on a Dream Tour posed a problem for Max Weinberg, as The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien in Los Angeles – for which he was The Max Weinberg 7 bandleader – was starting at the same time that the tour would be in progress.[5] Springsteen's manager Jon Landau viewed Weinberg was the "secret weapon" to substitute for his father without losing fan satisfaction.[1] Both Landau and E Street guitarist Steve Van Zandt attributed Jay Weinberg's skills to a genetic gift.[1][6]
Once the tour began, Weinberg played from several songs to half the show on different nights.[4][7][8] His first complete show taking place on 05/14/09 at Albany, NY's Times-Union Center.[4][9]
