Delivered in flannel and stocking feet, George Winston’s performances are transcendent and unadorned. Introspective and tranquil, he plays atmospheres in which an audience may lose itself. A self described “rural folk piano” player, Winston plays everything classical pieces, original compositions, and even transforms rock and pop hits into solo piano pieces with a pastoral sweetness for which he is known. Though influenced early on by instrumental artists like Booker T, and The Ventures, George Winston’s playing really took off when he discovered stride piano. The work of stride greats like Fats Waller and Teddy Wilson opened Winston’s ears and served as a chief inspiration in the making of his first record, Ballads and Blues 1972. George Winston has recorded numerous albums with themes ranging from the season, the great plains, and memorials to The Peanuts, and the music of The Doors. Concert Tickets $55
