Music News: Kip Winger – Live in London (27th November)
Legendary Winger front man and Grammy nominated artist, Kip Winger, returns to London, England, on Saturday 27th November for his 7th annual solo acoustic show at the Black Heart in Camden.
Kip’s only UK gig event of the year features special guest Robby Rothschild.
Renowned by fans and press alike as one of the finest songwriters and composers of his generation, Kip Winger’s up close and personal intimate acoustic shows deliver a loud, rocking, sing along through his career that feature hit songs and solo favourites that are peppered with stories from Kip’s extraordinary musical journey to date.
It’s only when you hear all these songs back to back, and they’re so instantly recognisable, that you appreciate that 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. But playing a 12-string guitar here, and with no other accompaniment, you realise Kip Winger is a brilliant musician, someone at home flavouring tunes with composed technique, yet never allows this to become an overbearing focus of attention. – Classic Rock Magazine
Not to be missed, tickets for Kip’s upcoming London show are available here.
