Steve Winwood at The Colston Hall in Bristol on 4 July 2017

Steve Winwood will perform at The Colston Hall in Bristol on Tuesday 4 July 2017

 

Singer, multi-instrumentalist, Grammy Award-winner and bona-fide Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame-r Steve Winwood has been in the music business for over 50 years, but came to wide attention when just a teenager with the Spencer Davis Group in the mid-60s. The group enjoyed a string of chart success by way of such enduring classics as ‘Keep On Running’ ‘Gimme Some Lovin’’ and ‘I’m A Man’.

In 1967, Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group and co-founded Traffic. Landmark albums such as Mr. Fantasy and John Barleycorn Must Die confirmed their position as one of the most important British groups of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Winwood left Traffic in 1969 to form a new group called Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. The pairing of Winwood with Cream’s Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and later, former Family bassist Rick Grech, created what many critics dubbed rock first supergroup.

1977 saw Winwood make his solo debut, and signaled a bold new artistic direction. Winwood’s solo career has yielded a rich catalog of popular songs including ‘Back In The High Life’, ‘When You See A Chance’, ‘Valerie’, and ‘Higher Love’. Winwood has since renewed his creative partnership with Eric Clapton. Their expansive CD and DVD Live At Madison Square Garden was nominated for two Grammy Awards and rewarded their many fans with some of the most exciting performances of their careers.

Steve Winwood is a recipient of the Ivor Novello Outstanding Song Collection and the Musicians Union Classic Rock Award—honors both voted for by his peers. Winwood continues to perform throughout the world and record new music, furthering his impressive legacy.
