About
STEVE WINWOOD IN CONCERT:
Rock icon Steve Winwood continues to inspire with his soulful voice and authentic songwriting more than half a century after his debut. At his live shows Winwood touches on every period of his long and storied career, treating fans to favorites from his time with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith before going on to perform '80s solo hits like "Higher Love" and "Roll With It". A virtuoso musician who surrounds himself with one of the best backing bands in the business, Winwood never fails to do justice to do his beloved classics justice on his must-see tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born to a musical family in Birmingham, England, Steve Winwood was performing music with his older brother and father by the age of eight. He immersed himself in the city's rhythm and blues scene while still in high school, and at age 14 he joined blue-eyed soul outfit the Spence Davis Group. He recorded several hits with the group before helping form prog rock outfit Traffic, with which he also had several hits. Winwood launched his solo career in 1977 with a self-titled debut album, and in 1980 he scored his first hit with the single "While You See a Chance" from the album Arc of Diver. He continued to release successful albums throughout the '80s, racking up several No. 1 singles including "Higher Love" and "The Finer Things". With nine solo albums under his belt and numerous releases from former projects, Winwood has plenty of classic material to draw from for his career-spanning sets while on tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"The strength of Steve Winwood's voice has not diminished one iota over the years. His band was as tight as lightning and the jam sessions paired with each of his tunes were INCREDIBLE!"
"His voice is still so soulful and amazing. His band is as tight as ever as they have been touring together for a while now. They like to indulge in extended, jazzy jams which give everyone in the band a chance to shine."
"A man of incredible talent, with an outstanding band. His voice is not that different from 40 years ago. Played a nice selection of old and newer. Well worth seeing."

by Anonymous on 3/12/18Tower Theatre - Upper DarbyIt's twenty years since last I saw Steve Winwood - it will be more than twenty before I go see him again. Not a great playlist, certainly not his greatest hits. Why start an hour late? His daughter really cannot command the stage - that was painful and certainly not a "warm up" act. Drop it. Band was very professional, very competent but all a bit lacking in emotion. Steve looked a lot like Bill Gates - though his keyboard and guitar work were really good. His voice was remarkably good but far, far too often pretty much drowned out by his band and his keyboard. it was all a lot too much like the guys were having just "another day at the office" - punch the clock, get it done and move on. A pretty average night out.

by GLEM on 3/12/18Tower Theatre - Upper DarbyPlayed a ton of hits - could have played a little longer but it was good. He plays great and sounds great.

by oman3654 on 3/12/18Tower Theatre - Upper DarbySteve Winwood was outstanding as was his band. His voice was strong and his keyboard and guitar playing were excellent. The guy on flute, sax, keyboards and vocals was amazing.The percussion with the conga and drummer was a perfect blend. I thought Lily was good but the Tower is not the best venue for a solo performer doing folk music. I thing Steve's band could have played a little longer. The highlight for me was John Barleycorn Must Die.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Steve Winwood great show!
by JimmyMac55 on 3/12/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkWhat a great show! He has good energy and band is tight and very talented. Steve's daughter opened the show with 5-6 songs and is very talented. Steve came on and gave us some terrific songs from early in his career, Spencer Davis Group and Blind Faith. Then he hit the highlight of the show, starting with Low Spark and segway into Empty Pages. Also the solo of John Barleycorn was very moving. Concluded with a few more current hits from Back in the High Life and Arc of a Diver. Encore of Dear Mr. Fantasy and Gimme Some Lovin' was fantastic. Good night, good show, good venue, great experience!! Jim

by jimmyzat on 3/12/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkAnother stellar show from one of the finest musicians we've been blessed with. His band is always top notch and they deliver the goods every time. Winwood ages like fine wine and I hope he continues to play live for years to come. NJPAC is awesome.

by BooGali on 3/12/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkI was left speechless, do not miss this show if at all possible
Rating: 4 out of 5 Steve still in top form
by Pikelet on 3/11/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkI enjoyed his daughter as the opening act - unusual combination of English folk and American country. Steve Winwood is one of my all time favorites and this was an above average concert for him. Very high energy. I took away one star because, as always, there were no songs from Arc of a Diver, even though it was a "greatest hits" tour. His voice still sounds really good so I'm not sure why he doesn't include songs from that period. John Barleycorn almost made up for it though.

by Marythek on 3/11/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkAlways love seeing shows in this beautiful theater. Sound is great. Every seat is great. Steve Winwood is a must see. His daughter Lilly opened the show. Very good. She also sang with him later on. Great voice. He did so many hits. Loved every minute. Thanks to all involved.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Steve Winwood is timeless.
by Mousey991 on 3/11/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkHaving seen Steve many times over the years, I can say with absolute conviction that his talent has not diminished with time. His vocal ability is still impeccable and his guitar and keyboard work is still in fine form. An engaging and entertaining performance.

by wintersmica on 3/11/18New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NewarkGreat show. My only complaint is that he only performed thirteen songs. Steve’s performance was about 90 minutes.
