| Edgar Winter And Rick Derringer - Live In Japan DVD (1990)  By the time Edgar Winter left his hometown of Beaumont, Texas in the 1960's, he was already technically
proficient in every aspect of music. A child prodigy who achieved
international success early on, Edgar has found an audience in every
major entertainment medium--music, film and television. A prolific
writer, Edgar's music encompasses many different genres, including rock,
jazz, blues, and pop. From his critically acclaimed 1970 debut release,
Entrance, he has demonstrated his unique style and ability to cross the
genre lines and do the unexpected. His early recording of "Tobacco
Road" is a powerful, emotionally devastating masterpiece that propelled
him into the national spotlight. Edgar followed Entrance with two hit
albums backed by his group White Trash, a group originally comprised of
musicians from Texas and Louisiana. White Trash enjoyed huge success,
both with the 1971 release of the studio album, Edgar Winter's White
Trash, and with 1972's follow-up live gold album, Roadwork.
In late 1972 Edgar brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and
Chuck Ruff to form The Edgar Winter Group, the legendary band that
created such hits as the number one Frankenstein and the ever popular
Free Ride. Released in 1973, They Only Come Out at Night peaked at the
number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 200 and stayed on the charts for
an impressive 80 weeks. It was certified gold in April 1973 and double
platinum in November 1986. Edgar invented the keyboard body strap early
in his career, an innovation that allows him the freedom to move around
on stage during his multi-instrument high-energy performances. He was
also the first artist to feature a synthesizer as the main instrument in
a song. Frankenstein revolutionized rock and roll and opened up a whole
new world of possibilities with experimentation and sound.
After They Only Come Out At Night, Edgar released Shock Treatment,
featuring guitarist Rick Derringer in place of Ronnie Montrose. Later
albums included Jasmine Nightdreams, The Edgar Winter Group with Rick
Derringer, a live album, Together Live With Johnny Winter, Recycled, a
reunion with White Trash, Standing On Rock, Mission Earth, Live In
Japan, Not A Kid Anymore, The Real Deal, and Winter Blues.
With over 20 albums and numerous collaborative efforts to his credit,
Edgar Winter has not been satisfied to ride the wave of popular music
stardom. Major national television and radio campaigns have relied on
Edgar's music to advertise their products. Edgar has also made frequent
television appearances, both to promote his music, and to give his
opinions on everything from Politically Incorrect to a commercial with
George Hamilton for Miller Lite beer. He has appeared in the film
"Netherworld", and the TV shows "The Cape", "Mysterious Ways", "Dave
Letterman", and "Jimmy Kimmel".
Edgar's music can be heard in no fewer than fifteen film and television
projects, including Netherworld, Air America, My Cousin Vinny, Encino
Man, Son In Law, What's Love Got to do With It, Wayne's World 2,
Starkid, Wag the Dog, Knockabout Guys, Duets, Radio, The Simpsons, Queer
as Folk, and Tupac Resurrection. Edgar's hauntingly beautiful song,
Dying to Live, is featured as "Runnin” (Dying To Live) in the film
"Tupac Resurrection", the biography on the life of rapper Tupac Shakur.
Produced by Eminem, the song uses the vocal talents of the Notorious
B.I.G., Tupac, and Edgar Winter himself. "Runnin" is on numerous
Billboard charts. It peaked at number 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop
Singles Sales chart, and the soundtrack CD was number 1 for 8
consecutive weeks.
Edgar's CD and DVD, titled, "Live At The Galaxy" was recorded live at
the Galaxy Theatre for Classic Pictures in 2003. It features the songs,
"Keep Playing That Rock and Roll", "Turn On Your Love Light", "Free
Ride", "Texas", "Show Your Love", "New Orleans", "Frankenstein" and
"Tobacco Road". In addition, the DVD includes a 30 Minute Documentary,
"Edgar Winter: The Man and His Music".
Edgar Winter's live shows consistently receive rave reviews. His music
is always evolving and he is a master at stretching his skill and
imagination to produce amazing results. He continues to thrill audiences
with his live performances, always remaining on the cutting edge of
music and style. Edgar is now at the very top of his game, and his
future looks even brighter than his past.

Richard Zehringer, 5 August 1947, Fort Recovery, Ohio, USA. Originally a
member of the chart-topping McCoys (‘Hang On Sloopy’), Derringer went
on to produce two of their later albums, paving the way for his new
career. Along with his brother Randy, Rick formed the nucleus of Johnny
Winter’s backing group. After producing four of Winter’s albums, he
joined the Edgar Winter Group and produced their bestselling 1972 album,
They Only Come Out At Night. Meanwhile, Derringer recorded his first
solo album, 1973’s heavy metal-tinged All American Boy. Vinnie Appice
(later of Black Sabbath) joined in 1976. Appice, plus band colleagues
Danny Johnson (guitar) and Kenny Aaronson (bass), eventually departed to
form Axis after the release of Derringer Live in 1977.
After several albums under the band name Derringer, Rick reverted to
solo billing and appeared as guest guitarist on albums by Steely Dan (he
had been the subject of their classic mid-70s hit ‘Rikki Don’t Lose
That Number’), Bette Midler, Todd Rundgren, Donald Fagen, Kiss, Cyndi
Lauper, Meat Loaf, Barbra Streisand and ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. Afterwards,
he turned his attention to production and soundtrack work, although in
1983 he teamed up with drummer Carmine Appice in the ill-fated DNA.
In the 90s Derringer returned to solo recording, having turned down
several previous attempts to lure him: ‘They all saw me as some kind of
screaming, sweating rock ‘n’ roller, but I’ve grown out of that now’. It
was Mike Varney at Shrapnel Records who finally won the day, signing
Derringer to his Blues Bureau label and teaming him with bass player and
co-producer Kevin Russell for Back To The Blues (1993) and Electra
Blues (1994). Several further blues-orientated releases followed for
Blues Bureau in the late 90s. Derringer also formed the DBA project with
Appice and bass player Tim Bogert, and in 2002 made a foray into
contemporary jazz on Free Ride. After making this bold leap he returned
to his traditional style on a series of dispiritingly retro albums, that
featured tired reworkings of some of his classic material.  1990 Live In Japan DVD
