In celebration of their 35 years as a touring and recording act, multi-platinum artist Winger announce today the release of Seven on May 5th.
The 12-track album, produced by Kip Winger and recorded in Nashville, will be distributed worldwide by Frontiers Records.
Seven, the band’s first new release since 2014’s Better Days Comin’, is now available for pre-order on CD/LP/Digital here.
Additionally, the album’s first single, Proud Desperado, is now available for streaming/download on all digital music platforms here and a music video can be seen below.
Winger are one of the only bands formed during the late ’80s that still features all original members — Kip Winger, Reb Beach, Rod Morgenstein, and Paul Taylor. Guitarist John Roth was added in 1992. To support the new album, Winger will begin extensive touring beginning with a UK tour with Steel Panther in May, followed by a U.S tour with the Tom Keifer Band in June. Additionally, the band will do a number of headline shows throughout the summer. VIPs are available for all shows at this location.

Something in initial chords remind me of Lynch Mob’s Dance of the Dogs.
But what do Beavis and Butthead think of this news?
I gotta say Beavis and Butthead were wrong about Winger. Out of all those 80’s bands, I think Winger was one of, if not the best out of all of them. Incredible musicianship. I already pre-ordered the new cd! Good tune.
Winger got a raw deal, there are great musicians in that band.
I’ve only seen Winger once, that was at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ in 1991, to this day still one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen! They were fkn awesome!!
