The Ridgefield Playhouse will show an exclusive sneak peek of the highly acclaimed, newly released Johnny Winter movie “Down and Dirty-The Johnny Winter Story” by Director Greg Olliver (Lemmy) and Executive Producer Paul Nelson (The Johnny Winter Band) The film features Edgar Winter, Joe Perry, James Cotton, Billy Gibbons, Warren Haynes, Luther Nallie, Tommy Shannon, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and more.

Come together with Johnny’s band members Paul Nelson, James Montgomery, Bobby T. Torello and Scott Spray as they tear thru a barn-burning set of Johnny’s classic material, some deep cuts, mixed in with some surprises along the way.
Paul Nelson received a Grammy for Johnny’s final, #1 Billboard Blues charting album “Step Back”, which Paul produced and performed on. He was Johnny Winter’s protégé and is considered one of today’s top guitarists. He has recorded alongside Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Warren Haynes, Joe Perry, Ben Harper, Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth, Joe Bonamassa and countless others.
James Montgomery was with Johnny as his harpist and vocalist, of which the Nashville Tennessean wrote “If ever the time came to use two “legendary” tags in one story, it is to describe both Winter and Montgomery. They are blues masters of the first and highest degree” He has toured with Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, the Allman Brothers, Steve Miller and has jammed on stage with B.B.King, Buddy Guy, and John Lee Hooker, Jr.
Bobby T. Torello started performing with Johnny in the 70’s and made his name as a drummer with impeccable time, who got the call from bandleaders of all kinds when they needed someone to be rock solid on the back end, but still blow people’s minds with a solo – everyone from Michael Bolton to Grace Slick to Black Oak Arkansas
Scott Spray has played bass on hundreds of albums and toured with countless artists as well as recording for national tv on HBO and films. He has worked with a list of artists such as Edgar Winter, Matt “Guitar” Murphy and Felix Cavaliere & The Rascals and many many more…
