Weinberg is well-known as the longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, and as the band leader for “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” and “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien.”
- Varsity soccer and football games will provide great family entertainment and a chance to cheer for the Tommies.
