About the Artists
Originally from Buffalo, New York, Cheryl and Andy Winston met and began playing
music together while attending college in nearby Fredonia, New York, where,
individually, they were regulars on the coffee house scene. College was the
setting for what was to be a life-changing event: their first gig as a duo,
which was, to say the least, auspicious. "We opened for Little Feat," recalls
Cheryl. "We got the word four hours before the show." "So, we cut classes,
slapped on new strings and worked up some tunes," says Andy. "That was the very
first time we played together."
THE WINSTONS' musical tastes were initially informed by the record collections
of older brothers and sisters. Cheryl and Andy cut their teeth on The Beatles,
Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Carole King, Crosby Stills & Nash, Cat Stevens, Burt
Bacharach and Harry Belafonte. They grew to share a common appreciation for
such tasteful artists as The Band, Neil Young, Leo Kottke, Bruce Cockburn,
Shawn Colvin, Nanci Griffith, Jonatha Brooke, Norman Blake, Hot Rize, and Tim
and Mollie O'Brien.
Their latest CD, "COMING THROUGH" debuted at #5 on folk radio's Top Albums
& Songs, spent four months on folk radio's Top 50 Albums list, and earned THE
WINSTONS the title of 1st Place Folkies and the award for 1st Place Folk Song
("Up In The Air") in the 2002 Boulder Folk & Roll Awards. Victory Review calls
"COMING THROUGH "extraordinarily satisfying, like the smoothest sipping whiskey,
magical, slightly inebriating and addictive; this is what we all wish we'd hear
when we turn on the radio."
Andy and Cheryl have performed at various festivals, including the Rocky Mountain
Folks Festival, were New Folk Finalists at the 2003 Kerrville Folk Festival, and
have appeared on the nationally syndicated Mountain Stage, WoodSongs Old-Time
Radio Hour and River City Folk. Besides Little Feat, THE WINSTONS have opened
for Karla Bonoff, Bryan Bowers, John Gorka, Jim Hurst and Missy Raines, James
Keelaghan, Patty Larkin, Laurie Lewis, Laura Love, Dave Mallett, Del McCoury,
Lynn Miles, Nickel Creek, Mollie O'Brien, Tom Paxton, Charles Sawtelle, and The
Whites.
