| The Pleasure Island Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival is scheduled each year in the second weekend in October. The 15th Annual Seafood, Blues and Jazz Festival, presented by the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce, will be held on October 11 (Saturday) and October 12 (Sunday), 2008 at the Kure Beach, North Carolina. This event features live jazz and blues performances on two stages. The music can’t be beat and the locally prepared seafood is simply the best in the region. Headlining the festival this year are the incomparable Johnny and Edgar Winter. This two-day festival takes place along the scenic Cape Fear River at the Fort Fisher Air Force Recreational Area in Kure beach. Enjoy browsing at the Fine Arts Plaza, shopping for crafts, listening to music, and fine wine tasting. Children will stay entertained for hours as they enjoy magicians, juggling acts, clowns and much more in the Kidz Zone.

He is a keyboard player, vocalist, saxophonist and percussionist, well-versed in jazz, blues and rock. Both Edgar and his brother Johnny have albinism. In 2006, Winter joined Hamish Stuart, Rod Argent, Richard Marx, Billy Squier, and Sheila E touring with Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band. In 2008, he is appearing in the 10th All-Starr Band with Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart, first timer Gary Wright and, on drums, Gregg Bissonette. |
