Texas-born Edgar Winter gained fame in the ’70s when his psych supergroup, The Edgar Winter Group, released rock anthems like the hard-hitting synth smash, “Frankenstein,” and the blues-riffing “Free Ride.”
While Edgar Winter played practically every available instrument on stage including guitar, synthesizer, keyboard, saxophone and even drums … he wasn’t alone in the music-making. Edgar also included artists like Chuck Ruff on backline percussions, Ronnie Montrose on the electric ax and Dan Hartman on the driving bass.
Edgar’s brother Johnny Winter was also a famous musician and was put into the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list.
