This World is Not My Home The Wintons

The Wintons began singing and playing together at home for fun, learning to harmonize and become strong instrumentally. What began as an interest in bluegrass music grew unexpectedly by the hand of the Lord into a family music ministry. They now perform a mix of gospel and traditional bluegrass music at venues throughout California.

The Winton boys, Cody and Jesse, have distinguished themselves as accomplished musicians on the fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and Dobro guitar. Cody and Jesse write some of their own songs, two of which are featured on the Winton's debut album, 'This World is Not My Home.'

California Bluegrass Association's reviewer Joe Ross says of their first album, “As soon as it started to spin, I realized that this was not simply another family band picking around their front porch. The CD exudes a great deal of song variety, individual talent, and group dynamics. I was very impressed with this Redding-based group that clearly has some eclectic tastes from bluegrass to folk, with a solid contribution of Gospel songs. A couple of numbers demonstrate the boys' songwriting capabilities which will only mature and get better with time. The Wintons' music simply emphasizes their familial bond, brotherhood, enjoyment of music, enthusiasm, and optimism. 'This World is Not My Home' album tells me that The Wintons not only have a strong conviction to their crowd-pleasing music, but that God has provided them with a path forward and some guided direction that encourages them to fully share their musical ministry far and wide.”

The Wintons live in beautiful northern California where they homeschool their sons, are raising their little adopted daughters, and are currently operating a family-owned landscaping business. They are thankful for the opportunity to share the gospel, encourage believers in biblical family life, and tell about the blessings of adoption at their concerts.
