A Michigan original. A musical storyteller. A man who made a lifetime of memories from behind a piano.

In this episode, we sit down with George Winters, the beloved “Red Piano Man” from Flint and Davison. George is a lifelong musician, entertainer, teacher, and creative force. His signature red electric piano has become a staple at community events, local concerts, senior centers, benefit performances, and neighborhood gatherings across Mid-Michigan.

George reflects on:
• His musical beginnings in Flint
• Performing everywhere from bars to churches to backyards
• What inspires him to keep bringing joy to people
• The meaning of local community arts in Michigan
• How the Flint/Davison area shaped his identity as a musician
• The people, mentors, and moments that built his sound

Warm, humble, and full of heart, George Winters represents the best of Michigan’s creative spirit — a man who used music to bring people together, one performance at a time.
