George Winston

George Winston returns to the Ephrata Main Theatre where he has performed to sold out audiences. George began playing organ in 1967. In 1971 he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recordings from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas "Fats" Waller and the late Teddy Wilson. In addition to working on stride piano, he also at this time came up with this own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano, called folk piano. In 1972, he recorded his first solo piano album, BALLADS AND BLUES 1972.

Since 1980 George has released ten other solo piano albums. His latest solo piano release is LOVE WILL COME THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI, VOL. 2 (released 2/2/10), which features compositions by the late jazz pianist, including pieces from the Peanuts TV specials.

George is presently concentrating mainly on live performances, and most of the time he is touring playing solo piano concerts. The Ephrata Main Theatre will feature his Winter Show.
