Ghosts of Winter

The Ghosts Story

Ghosts of Winter began back in 2006 as a performing original band called "Chime". After deciding to close the revolving door that many successful bands wind up with, the two primaries, Andy Zuckerman and Bill Curd made the decision to do a deep studio dive and call themselves "Ghosts of Winter". And since that time have built a catalog of approximately 80 songs.

Early members included Gary Meadors on drums, Chris Colovas on bass, and over the years other members have been Tony Cortezza, August Zadra (Starship), Robert Sarzo (Hurricane, Queensrych) and collaborations with Dave Buckner (Papa Roach, 3 songs) and with Danny Wilde (Rembrandts - "A Day In The Sun").

Curd, the only original member in the 2026 lineup, says, “hell we have had so many band members, if we were a big name legacy act people would be calling us a tribute band. Isn't that what happened to Journey, Foreigner, INXS and Bad Company? We have had an awesome 20 year run though and it's been a blast".

He goes on, "But I think that this new lineup is the best and strongest the band has had. We have had great players in the past, but never all at one time. I mean, how many bands out there grab an Outstanding Country Single of The Year from The Nashville Music Awards with a new lineup only 4 months old? Bringing the brand and reforming the band here in Texas may have been my smartest move, at least it's turning out that way."

Andy Zuckerman still participates when possible and will be producing the new "Ghosts" album this summer 2026. With Kit James (aka Todd Sullivan) on guitars and backing vocals, Greg Whitmire on drums, Randy LeBlanc on guitars, Jason Keller on Bass and backing vocals and Curd himself on guitars and lead vocals, Ghosts of Winter is just as solid as past versions, which lends to Curd's knack of putting the right players in place. "Time rolls on and every year another chapter for the band is written. It just ain't gonna fade, I won't let it" says Curd.

The band is hoping to hit the road late summer or early fall of this year in their new 42' Tour Bus. Todd Sullivan says "it makse us self-contained. It sleeps all of us and carries all our gear and it's expensive as heck to fill up, all it really needs is that nice big Ghosts os Winter logo on the sides" with a big grin on his face.

The band will also be streaming performances from their studios in Cypress, Texas, so keep checking for dates here.
