Acclaimed pianist/composer George Winston released his 15th solo piano album, Restless Wind, on May 3, 2019 and is currently on tour. Restless Wind beautifully documents Winston’s sociological observations in American history with renditions of stunningly relevant works by musical greats such as Sam Cooke, The Doors, Stephen Stills, George & Ira Gershwin, Country Joe McDonald and others. He will be performing at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts this month and due to popular demand, a second performance has been added. Performances are set for Saturday February 15 at 8p.m. and Sunday February 16 at 7p.m. at the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater. General Admission tickets are $39.50 and VIP General Admission tickets are $85 and are available online. In support of the San Antonio Food Bank, 100% of merchandise sales at the concerts will go to benefit their great work. (JP Cutler Media, 2020)

George Winston is undeniably a household name. He has inspired fans and musicians alike with his singular solo acoustic piano songs for more than 40 years while selling 15 million albums. A tireless road warrior playing nearly 100 concerts annually, live performance for Winston is akin to breathing. Winston’s music is evocative, offering a chance to take a step back from perpetually busy lives and let the mind adventurously wander. Restless Wind is a portrayal of Winston’s place in a chaotic world, his compositions extend solace with an idiosyncratic grace. Reflective of Winston’s catalogue of famed albums, Restless Wind is the next chapter for the pianist’s ambitious recordings. It captures Winston’s inimitable melodic language where piano textures and tones set the stage for vivid renderings of classic compositions. Winston’s latest song collection exhibits his masterful artistry of adapting ensemble arrangements to solo piano with magnificent results.
