Biography

A former bassist of Alice Cooper’s band during the mid eighties, Kip Winger went on to form Winger together with guitarist Reb Beach, keyboard/guitarist Paul Taylor and drummer Rod Morgenstein (formerly of Dixie Dregs). Taking the name from its leader, Winger specialized in winning melodic metal formula, with strong influences from bands like Van Halen, AC/DC and Whitesnake

The band’s eponymous debut in 1988 sold over a million copies on the strength of singles like “Seventeen” and the ballad “Headed for a Heartbreak”. Winger’s second album, 1990’s “In The Heart Of The Young”, was slightly more melodic and showed a more mature and technical approach to the songs. It reached an equal success, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad “Miles Away”. Unfortunately the band didn’t outlast the post-alternative pop-metal backlash and the group faded away after the release of the critically acclaimed 1993 album “Pull”.
After Winger went their separate ways, Kip decided to pursue a solo career. He started writing his own songs in a different style than to his previous band and his first album “Thisconversationseemslikeadream” was released in 1997, reflecting his new approach to songwriting with a style more akin to Peter Gabriel’s music rather than to 80’s Hard Rock.

    Check out his latest work, "Ghosts". An astonishing 3-movement suite of classical music written for ballet, which actually debuted on stage a couple of weeks ago. Now if that is not talent, I don't know what is. The man never stops to amaze me.

    Kip Winger's solo work is exceptional. WAY DIFFERENT than Winger is/was. It just goes to show he is one of the few from that "era" that was extremely talented. Can't wait to see what he does next, solo or with Winger.

    [quote]Does anybody know which is the latest Kip Winger acoustic set list? [/quote] Pretty much every big hit from Winger: Madeleine, Hungry, Cant Get Enough, Headed for a Heartbreak, Seventeen, Miles Away, etc and a couple of songs from his new record. I saw him opening for DARE and he blew me away.
