The first Dark Shadows song Leinweber wrote was "Daphne," based on Kate Jackson's character Daphne Harridge. Due to the positive response he received playing the song live with a friend, he posted the performance on YouTube (see below) and went on to create the rest of the album, which he says he "designed as a stand-alone collection of songs, or as a musical or opera for a theatrical setting."
Leinweber will be performing live this Friday, March 11, at Amici in Covington, GA.
"The songwriting is nuanced and mature, the musicianship is great, and vocalist David Leinweber has a highly pleasant voice to listen to."

Very interesting. I wrote an unauthorized stage play based on Dark Shadows way back in the 1980s. Nice to see the story of Barnabas and Collinwood making a return.
This is by far one of the best CDs I heard in a long while. It's a bonus that it's based on my favorite TV show. Thank you for giving us this wonderful album of music.
Now I like the sound of this - I'm going to head over to link you provided right after I leave this comment.
I'm telling everyone that it's International Women's Day 8th March all around the world.

Nice! I remember when the show aired. God, am I dating myself or what?
I'm glad people are enjoying David's music. Even if you're unfamiliar with DARK SHADOWS, the songs are beautiful to hear.
Shah: Thanks for the reminder about International Women's Day.
