Windser on Tour

Windser Live in Concert
Born Jordan Topf and raised in Santa Cruz, California, gifted singer/songwriter and indie-pop artist Windser adeptly turns painful memories and loss as well as joyful experiences into gorgeous indie pop tunes.
Windser was raised by parents he calls "old hippies" who loved music -- his father played guitar and his mother is a jazz piano player. Windser's father died when Windser was in his early 20s, so the singer honored him by playing his father's guitar on his debut EP, Where the Redwoods Meet the Sea. The record's title is also an homage to his dad, who had a tendency to romanticize the natural beauty of their hometown and the fog that rolled in every morning through the woods to the Pacific Ocean.
The EP finds Windser tapping into the bittersweet memories of his childhood for inspiration, and followed a popular collaboration with Seattle rapper Macklemore on "Next Year," whom he joined for a performance of the tune on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" It's clear that Windser's star is rapidly on the rise.
