Pianist, George Winston sold out The Kate at his March 6th, concert. Winston is pictured here with the Executive Director of The Kate, Chuck Still.
You could hear a pin drop in the place as he played masterfully for the crowd. Winston introduced each piece and then to work on the ivories. Not only did he wow the crowd with his piano playing, but also the acoustic guitar and a selection on the harmonica.
Winston met after the concert with a few board members to say how fond he was of the sound and the lighting in the theater and that he would like to return to the venue to play.
He’s rather a shy kind of chap, but personable and a perfectionist at what he does.
Thanks, George for sharing your wonderful talent and do come back.

We’re the new Hollywood East you know, and you’ll have a front row seat to what is going on in this state at The Kate.
You’ll get to meet a lot of great innovators at this event at a reception that will also be held here.
We’re really excited about this event as many may have no known that the theater is also a film venue.
In the coming years we hope to really establish this theater as the place to be for film and premieres.
This was just a toe-tappin good time. Jonathan Edwards, in his signature style, came out bare-foot on stage and played with three other amazing musicians.
The sold-old crowd was rockin and I mean “rockin” to everything Edwards sang, talk about a following. His voice has lost nothing over the years nor has his guitar or harmonica playing. He’s still cranking out the new songs too. The a capella numbers by Edwards and the others were marvelous.
After so many years Edwards has his stage banter down pat, he knows his audience and they know him. Edwards told the crowd he was so impressed with the acoustics at The Kate that he would be coming back. That’s a really great compliment from a guy who has been on stages around the world for more than 40 years.
On the road with Edwards these days is his long time friend and accompanist whom he met in 1969, Stuart Schulman. Schulman plays the bass, piano, fiddle as well as vocals. Also Taylor Armerding, formerly of Northern Lights is an amazing mandolin player.
The “young-in” in the group is banjo player, double bass, guitar, pedal steel and cello player, Charlie Rose.
There were a lot of hands that went up before the start of the concert when Executive Director, Chuck Still asked “how many of you are here for the first time?” We think that’s great that so many are discovering The Kate.
