George Winston set for Salt Lake's 'State Room' / Deseret News

Pianist and Grammy Award winner George Winston will be bringing some New Orleans flair to the State Room in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Oct. 3. Winston said audiences can expect musical selections from his "Autumn" and "December" albums, his New Orleans-styled rhythm and blues songs, as well as some Vince Guaraldi works inspired by the Peanuts animated cartoons.
