An Evening with Steve Winwood

18 Oct 2010 / Roundhouse Main Space

Multi-Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Steve Winwood will perform at the Roundhouse on 18 October 2010.
 
Rocketing into the international spotlight as the prodigious singer of the Spencer Davis Group, Winwood was responsible for some of the leading hits at the peak of the British Invasion with singles such as Gimme Some Lovin’ and I’m a Man. Looking for a wider artistic palette, in 1967 he headed to the countryside with friends Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason, forging the collective spirit into Traffic, producing some of the most inventive and durable works of the psychedelic-tinged late-”60s.

In 1969 he formed Blind Faith with Eric Clapton, Clapton’s Cream-mate, drummer Ginger Baker, and bass player Rick Grech, though the 'supergroup' lasted just one acclaimed album and tour. With 1977’s Steve Winwood, a rich solo career launched in earnest. Arc of a Diver (1980) featured the hit While You See a Chance, and subsequent solo albums Talking Back to the Night (1982), Back in the High Life (1986), and Roll With It (1988) produced era-defining songs including Valerie, Higher Love, Back in the High Life, and Roll With It.
