This
is going to be a fantastic show! I went to see Edgar in Toronto on the Rockin'
Blues tour and he blew me away! Arena quality huge show, but very personable.
Edgar is playing at his peak and is having a great time! It shows and his
enthusiasm spreads throughout the audience. Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown opened
the show and won the crowd from the first note! Everyone was talking about him
after his first set. I promise this to be one of the best shows Zapp! has
presented yet!
EDGAR WINTER is a powerhouse performer. His stage energy and talent is unmatched. He is a world class keyboardist, saxophonist, percussionist and vocalist. By the time he was in his twenties, he was an international commercial success with the number one hit "Frankenstein" and the Rock Anthem "Free Ride". Released in 1973, They Only Come Out at Night peaked at the number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 200 and stayed on the charts for an impressive 80 weeks. It was certified gold in April 1973 and double platinum in November 1986.
Edgar is a prolific writer. Over the years he has kept busy working and appearing in film, television and releasing original material. He has toured regularly with his own band as well as The Ringo Starr Allstar Band. Edgar brings a band with him that matches his talent and energy.

This
is a special tour. Edgar and Kim are friends. They are both at their peak and
they are both very personable down to earth people.
KIM SIMMONDS of Savoy Brown....Legendary... a Blues/Rock institution... True Innovators. These are just a few of the ways Savoy Brown has been described over the past forty years by music critics and fans.
One of the earliest of British Blues Bands, Savoy Brown, with founder guitarist Kim Simmonds at the helm, helped launch the 1967 UK blues boom movement that brought blues music back to the USA invigorating the style forever. In the process, the band became part of the framework that launched the rock and roll music of the 1970's. Their influence stretches into modern rock as we know it today. Classic releases such as Blue Matter, Lookin' In, Jack the Toad, Street Corner Talkin' and Hellbound Train (which reached #34 on the Billboard charts) still sell well today.
In the fall Kim played at the Blues Rock Festival in Toronto with Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer (Edgar's top notch band will be backing Kim on his set, much to Kim's delight). He is a legend who's exceptional guitar playing has gotten better over the years. Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown's set includes all the classic songs that you want to hear, played better than ever.
