Winter, who was raised in Central Ohio, will entertain the crowd Friday night at the Logan County Fair.
“I am excited about coming to Bellefontaine and I am hoping to gain some new fans,” said Winter. “The audience can expect songs from all over the place. I like to walk that line between traditional and modern country.”
Country music with an edge of rock would be an appropriate way to describe Winter’s style.
“I listen to music of all genres,” he said. “I think that lends itself to the way I come out in my music.”
