Since his first appearance on the pages of Rolling Stone in 1968, Johnny Winter
has epitomized the fiery and flamboyant guitar hero. The multi Grammy-nominated
guitarist will be joined by former Buddy Guy guitarist Scott Holt.
An American musical legend, Johnny Winter's storied career began when he was
just fourteen years old. He and his keyboard-wizard brother Edgar Winter formed
Johnny and the Jammers in their hometown of Beaumont, TX. With their
supercharged blues-rock, Johnny and The Jammers became a regional phenomenon
throughout Texas. As word about the young guitarist spread, his heros, Muddy
Waters and B.B. King started inviting Winter to join them on stage when they
were passing through town.
As one of the most influential guitarists of our time, Johnny Winter carries on
the Texas tradition of a long line of guitarists from T-Bone Walker to Freddy
King. He brought a raw, contemporary edge to the blues with his powerful guitar
playing and raspy vocals on hits like Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo, Still Alive and
Well and his sizzling interpretation of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.
