about
Winterboy is the twisted and passionate center of the band, Winterboy. The self-taught singer, songwriter, and twelve-string electric guitarist left school at age twenty; after a short stint as a military policeman he roamed America, working as a gravedigger, salesman, animal rescuer, ranch-hand, taxi driver, drug abuse counselor/social advocate, and online quit-smoking consultant. He began writing his first song 'in a friend's trailer park, somewhere in Colorado', and finished it three years later in Massachusetts, after a U2 concert. He suddenly became a prolific writer, composing over 300 songs since then. Winterboy explored different sounds and styles as a solo street/subway performer in Boston. Winterboy debuted as a rock trio during May 2000. He hit the ground running (with an LA Music Awards/ Best National Entry nomination behind him) and hasn't stopped yet. Winterboy recorded a five-song demo, 'Three Free Radicals', in June 2000; reached the semi-finals in the MTV/VH1 'Band Warfare' promo; performed over a hundred gigs in the first 13 months; and released his debut CD, 'ENORMODOME', in March, 2001.
