A message from the guys

We are so incredibly thankful for all of your support, kind words, and votes during this year's Cleveland Music Awards. We walked away with three nominations (tied for the most of any band) and one victory with Maurice being named Cleveland's Best Vocalist! For any of you who have been around since our days of being 1959, you know that we have come so far! This wild ride is one that we wouldn't trade for the world. We can only hope that the next three years have just as much success, great people, and amazing moments in store.

This is a bit of a bittersweet time for us. Most people hate change, and Winslow is no different! This is a time of a lot of changes for us, but we believe in the direction that we are moving in, and we believe in all of you! For any of you that don't already know, when we begin touring again next month; it will be with a revamped line-up. We sadly had to say goodbye to Justin and Brian when they moved away to New York City and Chicago respectively. We played with some musicians who filled in with us for a while, but once it was time to start writing for the new album, we knew that it was best that we find the players who would be the best fit to move forward. In that process, we also parted ways with our former outstanding guitarist Neal. Brian, Justin, and Neal made fantastic contributions to the project, but if felt for all of us like time to move in a new direction. There are no hard feelings and we wish those guys the very best that life and music have to offer.

Over the past few months, the remaining three have been diligently writing and auditioning new players. We are incredibly excited for the new material and for the newest members of Winslow! We feel like this next album has the potential to blow the last one out of the water. Don't worry, at shows we'll be playing all of the material that you have grown to love, but we will be slowly infusing new material in for you to hear. We will also be giving you all an opportunity to meet each of our great new members. We can assure you that they have the sound, passion, and energy that you have grown to love and expect from Winslow!

We need your support now more than ever. As we begin playing out again, please come out and support us. Your presence at shows is pivotal to our success; we are nothing without our amazing fans. We have missed playing shows in front of you more than you can truly know, and we hope to see your smiling faces out dancing extremely soon! Thank you all for everything that you have done with us. A new chapter in Winslow opens with a prestigious victory and a bright future. We are ready to embark on a new journey and we hope you are as pumped as we are for it!

Maurice, Matt, and Curtis
