WINSTON WHITFORD (Bass guitar)
Winston has played bass guitar for a few years with Maggie Mae & Heartland Country as well as for a few other great bands. But it doesn’t stop there. Winston is also very talented on the guitar and my Maggie’s favorite, his “fiddle” or “lack-there-of”. I call it his “half a fiddle” but he can play it with his “whole heart”. Winston’s father had influenced him greatly as he was one of the skilled musicians of the “Goose Island Ramblers”. Winston is a joy to watch on stage!
