“Kip Winger is one of the best writers of the past three decades. The quality never dips. From his own solo stuff through to the Winger hits” - Classic Rock Magazine
C.F. Kip Winger, the multi-platinum recording artist, may be known best for his success with his own band, Winger, as well as his early days as a bass player with Alice Cooper.
Winger formed in 1987 and soared to immediate success with their 1988 self-titled release. The album spawned the hit singles “Seventeen” and “Headed For A Heartbreak” and achieved platinum sales status. Winger also stayed on the Billboard Top 200 chart for over 60 weeks where it peaked at #21. Their next album, “In The Heart Of The Young”, also achieved platinum status and contained the singles “Can”t Get Enuff” and “Miles Away.” Winger made a name for themselves through relentless touring, winning fans and critics alike through their exceptional musicianship, Kip Winger’s powerful vocals and the band’s incredible songwriting.
However, the range and scope of Kip’s musical journey can be more fully experienced in his solo albums, This Conversation seems like a Dream, Songs from the Ocean Floor ,From the Moon to the Sun and his most recent composition Ghosts, for string orchestra. piano and harp.
In 1995, after his hugely successful run with Winger, Kip built a studio in the hills of Santa Fe, New Mexico and started writing and producing music without limits. “It was incredibly freeing to connect to music without any preconceived ideas about what it needed to be or what niche it needed to fill.” It is in Kip’s solo work that he has been able to exercise the breadth of his talents as a composer. London’s Classic Rock Magazine called him “one of the most gifted composers and arrangers in the rock genre” and praised his “compulsion to experiment.”
Over the years Kip has continued to pursue his interest in composition. He patterned his course of study after the intensive one-on-one relationships favored by many composers He sought out such masters as Edgar Grana, who holds a Masters from Juilliard, and currently teaches composition at the School of Visual Arts in New York City; University of New Mexico Professor of Theory and Composition, Richard Hermann; and Professor Michael Kurek from the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University. Professor Kurek has praised him for his “great ear and innate musical sensitivity” resulting in “beautifully crafted phrases and nuance.”
Aside from his powerful solo acoustic shows and touring with Winger, Kip was the lead singer for the Alan parsons live project. He has performed or recorded with the likes of Alice Cooper, Mark Farner, Roger Daltrey, and Neal Schon, and Bob Dylan.
