The Great Steve Winwood @ The DPAC



Not many rock and rollers have withstood the test of time and taste like Steve Winwood. He has always maintained a steady position in the world of music, from his early days with Eric Clapton to his triumphant march through the treacherous 1980's, a time when a man of his ilk could easily sink as a has been attempting a new career. Winwood now tours comfortably with a laid back posse of pros. Heavy use of percussive instruments has increased greatly in his live show along with his own gift as a multi-instrumentalist. His current act seems to be working just as well as any before. Hope to hear anything and everything from his cannon of solo work and with The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, and Go tonight at The Durham Performing Arts Center.
