LATEST NEWS
December 4, 2008 - I just wanted to share some info on Northern Light Orchestra and Kip's involvement in this new project. Kip wrote all the string arrangements.
NORTHERN LIGHT ORCHESTRA highlights majestic, orchestrated rock music featuring soaring vocals, incredible guitar solos and pounding rhythms and is slated to become a seasonal live performance and recording entity that provides the very best in entertainment! NLO is designed to create a total musical experience combining the powerful drama of Webber and Rice's "Jesus Christ Superstar" with the emotionally moving musical styles of ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, YES, and KANSAS. Vocalists and musicians appearing on NLO have been responsible for the sale of over 200 million albums worldwide and include members and former members of household names such as the BEACH BOYS, SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE, ALICE COOPER, SURVIVOR, STEELY DAN, FIREHOUSE, MEGADETH, SISTER SLEDGE, QUIET RIOT, VANILLA FUDGE, WINGER, BOB CARLISLE, GUNS N' ROSES, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, KISS, HOUSE OF LORDS, and WHITESNAKE, just to name a few. Live performances will highlight a spectacular light and video presentation, theatrical movements, as well as incredible musicianship all assembled to tell the story of the birth of Jesus Christ over two thousand years ago. The new nine-track release of NORTHERN LIGHT ORCHESTRA, "The Spirit of Christmas", provides merely a hint of what is to come, with nine additional tracks already in production for next year! NORTHERN LIGHT ORCHESTRA musicians: Vocals: Phil Bardowell (BEACH BOYS, MAGDALEN) Bob Carlisle ("Butterfly Kisses") Eddie James (gospel singer) Jon Gibson (JON GIBSON) Robin McAuley (SURVIVOR) Debbie Sledge (SISTER SLEDGE) Rose Stone (SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE) Guitars: Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE) Kendall Bechtel (FIFTH ANGEL) Lanny Cordola (HOUSE OF LORDS) Jason Hook (ALICE COOPER, MANDY MOORE) Bruce Kulick (KISS, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD) Bill Leverty (FIREHOUSE) George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCHMOB) Elliot Randell (STEELY DAN) Bass: David Ellefson (MEGADETH, F5) Chuck Wright (QUIET RIOT, VANILLA FUDGE) Drums: Ken Mary (ALICE COOPER, HOUSE OF LORDS) Strings: Kip Winger (WINGER, ALICE COOPER) Keys: Dizzy Reed (GUNS N' ROSES) Brian Stewart (BACKSTREET BOYS, POE) For more information, song samples and a list of who's who, go to http://www.myspace.com/northernlightorchestra.

June 15, , 2007 - Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess' Solo Album to Feature Kip Winger and Bumblefoot Magna Carta Records has set a September 12 release date for the new solo album from DREAM THEATER keyboardist Jordan Rudess, entitled 'The Road Home'. Having been influenced by classic progressive acts such as GENESIS, YES and GENTLE GIANT, Rudess revisits some of the great songs from those bands with his own special Jordan Rudess touch. He is assisted on the CD by a great group of guests, such as Nick D'Virgilio (SPOCK'S BEARD), Kip Winger (WINGER), Rod Morgenstein (WINGER), Ed Wynne (OZRIC TENTACLES), Bumblefoot (GUNS N' ROSES), Marco Sfogli (JAMES LABRIE), Ricky Garcia (LAFEE) and several others.
March 30, 2007 - Since the recent release of Winger's Demo Anthology (2 CD set) and the rave reviews, I thought I would let you all know that the Japanse release, due out April 25th in Japan (May 3rd in the States) will have extra bonus tracks included so if you're interested in hearing more tracks, this is a must have. You can pre-order from CD Japan and Amazon.com. I was hoping that NEH would be carrying this import, but in speaking with them today, they said they are not.

March 15, 2007 - PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD.....PASS THIS ALONG. THANK YOU! Okay, most all of you know that Winger is my very favorite band and I would love to hear them on the radio. I had been thinking about doing this for awhile now, but since coming off the heels of the Winger tour and seeing all the enthusiasm from everyone, I wanted to get this done. I am still working out other details as far as getting this (hard copies of the petition and CD's) to the radio stations....I mean I would love to send copies of the CD to ALL the stations but I haven't hit the lottery yet. I will probably send some to various stations throughout the country, but I am hoping with your help, we can work together to spread this petition everywhere and collect a lot of signatures to be presented to radio stations and media outlets everywhere. Winger fans are the absolute best, and most loyal......wouldn't it be awesome to hear them on the radio? Here's hoping for a successful campaign Please sign and pass along. Thank you! http://www.petitiononline.com/WingerIV/petition.html

THE FIRST TASTE OF BRAND NEW WINGER!: Frontiers Records is pleased to unleash all details surrounding the much talked come-back album from Winger simply entitled IV. 13 years since the release of the critically acclaimed record Pull, Winger are now a five-piece band comprising of Kip Winger (on vocals and bass), Reb Beach (on guitar), Rod Morgenstein (on drums), John Roth (on guitar and keyboards) and the new addition, Cenk Eroglu (guitar and keyboards).
The new album, according to Kip Winger is the result of my chemistry with Reb Beach. "Songwriting and composition are the most important thing to me", says Kip, "In my opinion good songs are a combination of life, experience and accident. On Winger IV all of those things came together. Reb and I are more comfortable with each other now and our musical roles with respect to each other are more clearly defined.
IV is definitely a career-defining album for the experienced musicians that created it. This was a very magical record. I gave it everything I had, I thought of the overwhelming support I've had over the years by the die hard fans and really wanted to give them something worth listening to", says Winger. The record has a very diverse feel the aggression of tracks like Right Up Ahead, M16 or Livin Just To Die, the mystical elements Disappear, the lyricism and sheer melodies of Blue Suede Shoes, On A Day Like Today and the political elements of Can't Take It Back and Generica.
The album has something for everyone. "Several songs on this record" reveals Kip, "were inspired by my experience performing at a few military bases, after meeting some of the men and women who are in the line of fire. I wrote songs like Blue Suede Shoes, Right Up Ahead and M16 as a way of giving something back to the soldiers who sacrifice themselves for the rest of us to live free." Winger's return album will be unleashed on the markets on Frontiers Records on October 20 with a Japanese release on King Records with the following final track listing: Right Up Ahead; Blue Suede Shoes; Four Leaf Clover; M16; Your Great Escape; Disappear; On A Day Like Today; Livin' Just To Die; Short Flight To Mexico; Generica; Can't Take It Back. Now for the artwork. Ethan Van Sciver is the artwork creator and you can get a full glorious high-res look by clicking on the cover below.
