Local musician Matthew Weaver will sign copies of his new CD release, “I Have a Friend,” at Literary Bookpost on Friday, Dec. 16, from 6-10 p.m. During the signing, refreshments will be served and Weaver’s CDs will play in the background.
Weaver is originally from the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and has lived in Salisbury since 1984. An accomplished musician on 19 instruments as well as a vocalist, he has played throughout the United States in a variety of venues ranging from local events to the Grand Ole Opry. Currently both a student and a teacher of Appalachian studies at Appalachian State University in Boone, Weaver is also music director for Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Salisbury. In 2011 he has already performed in more than 400 events.
“I Have a Friend” is Weaver’s eighth CD, and the event on Friday will be his fifth release event at Literary Bookpost. Some of his earlier CDs will be on hand at the signing if they are currently available. The new CD was just received at the Bookpost on Dec. 2, two days prior to Weaver’s live performance before a full house at Keppel Auditorium on the Catawba College campus last weekend.
Literary Bookpost is located at 110 South Main Street, Downtown Salisbury. For additional information about this event, call 704 630-9788, or visit www.literarybookpost.com or www.matthewweavermusic.com.
