Donnie Winters... the MAN, the LEGEND, the SONGWRITER and (happy to say) MY FRIEND!
Most folks only know him as the (very capable) soundman at Douglas Corner Cafe; a "must visit" stop on every songwriters' first (and every) trip to MUSIC CITY... but there is SO MUCH MORE to this amazing songwriter/performer's story. Such as? Well I'll attempt to keep the spoilers to a minimum but how's about THESE:
He had his first cut while a Freshman in High School... with MARTY ROBBINS!!!
He and his brother formed a band that played CHARLIE DANIELS' VOLUNTEER JAM FESTIVAL... repeatedly!!!
He's scored cuts with artists as diverse as the LOUVIN BROTHERS, THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS, BARRY AND HOLLY TASHIAN, THE CHAPMANS, RONDA VINCENT, BUDDY & JULIE MILLER, NOB HILL BOYS and more!!!
So sit back and listen in rapt attention to one of the more fascinating interviews we've presented yet. And by ALL MEANS make a point of stopping into Douglas Corner Tuesday Night on your next visit to Nashville... just be sure to call early to reserve a spot to play!
