Jonathan Meiburg
Encyclopedia : J : JO : JON : Jonathan Meiburg
Multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg is the lead singer and songwriter for Shearwater (2001–present), a band he co-founded with Will Sheff in Austin, Texas. He also shares duties with Sheff as a member of Okkervil River (1999–present). Due to touring conflicts between the two acts, however, he currently plays a limited role in Okkervil River outside of recording sessions. Meiburg is also a graduate student in ornithology. His love of birds shows itself in the band's name, and in the titles of several different Shearwater albums and EPs.
Meiburg has recorded material as a solo artist, though he tends to only sell these records at Shearwater tour dates.
