You know immediately when you’re in the presence of greatness. There are pop stars, there are rockers who command your attention while they’re on the stage, and there are bands you love even though you realize you ought to know better.
Then there are those performers you come into contact with who simply floor you with the sheer weight of their talent. Some people were clearly born to be musicians. Steve Winwood is one of them.
STILL IN THE GAME….. Few artists have had the integral impact in the music cosmos as STEVE WINWOOD. The Rock and Soul Pioneer whose suave voice and unparalleled instrumental prowess are woven into the fabric of four decades of musical history.
There are few rock musicians who have had such a varied and storied career as Steve Winwood.
Winwood, 60, out with his first studio album since 2003, put on a show Saturday night at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods.
"But in a music career that spans five decades and several genres and includes stints with two of the most influential groups in rock history, Winwood's hit parade accounts for only a few years."
