Edgar Winter is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer who came charging out of Texas in the late 1960s, first recording with his brother Johnny Winter before cutting his own path. Between 1970 and 1972 he led Edgar Winter’s White Trash, a brass-driven rock-soul machine that felt like a freight train with manners. In 1972 he pivoted to The Edgar Winter Group (1972–1976), trading horns for synthesizers and delivering the instrumental juggernaut "Frankenstein" and the radio staple "Free Ride." Those records had muscle and precision—tight arrangements, bold Moog lines, and a stage presence that turned arenas electric. Through the late 1970s and beyond he produced, collaborated, and kept touring, forever the restless architect of high-energy American rock.
