CONCERT: Kurt Winikka, Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist

Singer-Songwriter Kurt Winikka has been banging on the guitar ever since the 7th grade, when he was given a $25 Spanish guitar from Nogales, Mexico. An appreciation of great songwriting craft by such artists as Townes Van Zandt, Dave Carter and Richard Shindell inspired Kurt to begin writing his own material in earnest. He has been performing at local (Boston area) venues, as well as the occasional regional ("The Perch" in Brooklyn) or far flung ("The Bottleneck" in Lawrence, Kansas and "Fiddler's Dream" in Phoenix, Arizona).
