EDGAR WINTER
ROCK ICON REACHES FOR THE STARS THIS SUMMER
* * *
Rock icon Edgar Winter is having a busy summer! He’s been tapped to be a
judge, along with record producer/songwriter David Foster, on “StarTomorrow,”
NBC’s new interactive music competition that will allow viewers to choose
the first Internet superstar band. The competition kicks off with a network
special that will air on Monday July 31st.
Marking the first time that the network has offered a full national series
online, NBC will introduce “StarTomorrow,” an interactive music competition
that will put viewers exclusively in control of choosing the first Internet
superstar band, singing group or solo act - and will reward the winners with
a recording deal with Foster and his recording company.
Winter is also on tour this summer as a member of Ringo Starr’s All Starr
Band where he’s been receiving some rave reviews. According to a FMQB
review, ”And perhaps the surprise of the entire evening was Edgar Winter.
Looking like the Dorian Gray of rock, Winter acted as a man possessed,
whether tearing off an acrobatic keyboard lick, delivering a virtuoso vocal
performance or blasting out some funky sax. His outstanding solo performance
of his early 70’s solo track, the gospel tinged “Dying To Live” qualified as
a real goosebump ‘you had to be there’ moment.”
As Winter would say, “Keep On Rockin’!”
