Winship
2022-07-02 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Halifax)
Winship is an original music artist filtering Top 40 covers through his multi-instrumentalist background and singer/songwriter lens, distilling both older and newer favorites into an authentically refreshing sound on minimalist instrumentation. As a pop vocalist performing on an amplified acoustic guitar, he explores songs in-depth, prioritizing quality over quantity as he imparts each song with sophisticated world rhythms & subtle artistic nuances. The result is more sophisticated, modern storytelling, and an ability to perform each song in not just one, but a handful of different ways. It’s the reason why he’s booked for the overall vibe he creates, instead of for specific song requests, which is a divergence from the traditional cover bands in the private events industry. Winship’s song selections actually happen in real-time based on the energy of people and place, where he expertly draws from an all-ages, cross-generational artist palette each song to best fit the present moment.
