By the time Edgar Winter left his hometown of Beaumont, Texas in the 60’s, he was already technically proficient in every aspect of music. A child prodigy who achieved international success early on, Edgar has found an audience in every major entertainment medium – music, film and television. A prolific writer, his music encompasses many different genres including rock, jazz, blues and pop. From his critically acclaimed 1970 debut release, Entrance, he has demonstrated his unique style and ability to cross the genre lines and do the unexpected. His early recording of “Tobacco Road” is a powerful, emotionally devastating masterpiece that propelled him into the national spotlight. He then followed Entrance with two hit albums backed by his group White Trash … a group originally comprised of musicians from Texas and Louisiana. White Trash enjoyed huge success both with the 1971 release of the studio album, Edgar Winter’s White Trash and with 1972’s follow-up live gold album, Roadwork. In late 1972, Edgar brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff to form The Edgar Winter Group, the legendary band that created such hits at the #1 “Frankenstein” and the ever popular “Free Ride.” Released in 1973, They Only Came Out at Night peaked at the #3 position on the Billboard Hot 200 and stayed on the charts for an impressive 80 weeks. It was certified double platinum in 1986. Edgar invented the keyboard body strap early in his career … an innovation that allows him the freedom to move around on stage during his multi-instrumental high-energy performances. He was also the first artist to feature a synthesizer as the main instrument in a song. Edgar’s 2003 CD and DVD, Live At The Galaxy was recorded live at the Galaxy Theatre for Classic Picture and features the songs, “Keep Playing That Rock and Roll,” “Turn On Your Love Light” and “Texas.” In addition, the DVD includes a documentary, “Edgar Winter: The Man and His Music.” His music is always evolving and he is a master at stretching his skill and imagination to produce amazing results. Edgar continues to thrill audiences with his live performances always remaining on the cutting edge of music and style and will be appearing at the Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre for one show in February, 2009.
