Penn's Peak
Edgar Winter will be performing at Penn's Peak on Saturday, Feb. 4. Opening for him will be Rick Derringer.

Both Edgar Winter and his brother Johnny grew up with music.

Edgar recalls, during a phone interview, why they drifted apart and then what brought them back together.

"Johnny started being a blues fan and didn't want a saxophone in the band," said Edgar, regarding to their temporary parting of ways.

In 1969, Johnny performed at Woodstock and invited Edgar on stage with him, bringing the brothers back together for awhile.

Edgar said of Woodstock that it was "the pivotal point and thing which changed my life. Up until then, I was not interested in pop music."
