The Winchester opened in December, 2002 and has committed to bringing quality music to an established music fan base. There is no screaming into the mic here. We have seats for nearly everyone and there is plenty of room for your comfort. You will not be over crowded or uncomfortable.
This isn't easy, but when you get a living legend like Leon Russell calling saying he wants to play The Winchester AGAIN (which he did, three times!) because he loves the room and the audience, it makes it very worth while. To quote R.E.M.'s producer, Don Dixon, who played The Winchester in September and loved it... "The Winchester is a great sounding, old school room." Dave Cousins from English Folk Rock legends The Strawbs said on stage during his sold out performance that "The Winchester is a magical place to play." Cool.
