Meet Winkler<\/a>, masterful cultivators of the vibe and purveyors of a great time. Based in Boston, MA, Winkler consists of guitarist and vocalist Justin Schaefers (he\/him), drummer Christian Schmidt (he\/him), guitarist Alex Massey (they\/them), bassist Ava Connaughton (she\/her), and vocalist Maddy Simpson (she\/her). <\/p>\n

While many might be led to believe that the band\u2019s name comes as an ode to the one and only Henry Winkler, it is merely a coincidence. The catchy moniker was initially a lyric in the band\u2019s first ever song, also entitled  \u201cWinkler.\u201d \u201cIt was the first song we ever wrote together. There’s a line in it that says \u2018winkler.\u2019 […] We had a show, but no name for the band, so we were just picking out of the same pool and were like, we’ll be Winkler and change it later\u2026then we never changed it,\u201d Schaefer recalls. <\/p>\n

Effervescently entertaining and infectiously enthusiastic, Winkler has gained an earnest following of music lovers all over the country. The band is a musical staple of the Boston area, having cemented their place in the city\u2019s bustling music scene. Though, getting to where they are now took an abundance of time and effort. While house shows in the area are aplenty\u2014thanks to kind hearted music lovers opening up their homes\u2014Simpson asserts, \u201cBoston itself is an inaccessible city. It would be so awesome if we could have more accessible venues, more mid-size or small venues, sober venues and all ages spaces\u201d that reflect the true diversity of the city. <\/p>\n

The band has been performing together since 2018, after Schaefer, Schmidt and Simpson met in college. There, the three bonded over experimenting with a four track cassette recorder and Simpson\u2019s harmonies. Connaughton and Schaefer worked in the same music store while playing in the same band during high school, and she naturally joined the fray after moving to Boston. Massey is the most recent addition to the band\u2019s lineup; they were the band\u2019s neighbor, friend, and a big Winkler supporter before being invited to join. The band has released six singles of joyous mayhem so far, with a colorful and bright sound resembling that of Babe Rainbow, Mac DeMarco, and a light sprinkling of Unknown Mortal Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Life as working musicians is not always easy, the band admits. The members of Winkler have had to learn how to balance their day jobs and commitments to other bands (Dino Gala<\/span><\/a> and Sweet Petunia<\/span><\/a>) with a regular touring schedule, as well as making sure to maintain and nurture the relationships with their bandmates. The relationship that one has with the people they create art with is incredibly important, though it\u2019s safe to say that the members of Winkler have healthy collaboration and camaraderie down pat. They laugh and joke with one another, and are eager to praise the talent of their fellow bandmates. <\/p>\n

Despite the occasional obstacles, being a musician definitely has its perks. Schafer shares his insight into the life of a musician, \u201cIt’s fun, you get to do all these things and play shows with your friends, who also happen to be very talented. […] It’s nice to foster that\u2014and you just get to rock out, it’s great!\u201d<\/p>\n

The band has continually practiced asking for what they want, and has seen tremendous results. Schafer declares, \u201cThe biggest plague in rock’n’roll is being a little bit shy.\u201d Making connections and forming genuine relationships with others has been paramount to the band\u2019s success; \u201cThe easiest way to [break into the music scene] is to just make friends,\u201d Simpson exclaims, \u201cYou can ask for anything. You’re either gonna get a yes or no. I do a lot of just asking. […] Most of the time people say no, but sometimes people say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band has made sure to take advantage of every live performance they are offered. Playing live is a driving force in sorting through their songwriting, as there is nothing like having a live audience reaction that shows what musical direction one should take. \u201cWe’re at the point right now where the most we figure out what the songs are is when we play them live,\u201d Schaefer shares, \u201cthat’s when they’re injected with whatever energy they should have […]. The more we can play them before we record them, the better.\u201d Plenty of experimentation has to be involved before the band gets to finalizing their recordings. Schaefer looks back on some of their early demos, \u201cthey’re so different from how we recorded them that one time. That’s fun, because they get to change\u2014everything gets a lot faster when you play songs live.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s discography gives off a pure sense of play, but much more lies under the fa\u00e7ade of their danceable tunes. \u201cThe thing about Winkler that I like is that a lot of the music is sound based. It’s about what sounds cool,\u201d Simpson exclaims, \u201cA lot of the time, the lyrics don’t mean that much, but the more you listen to it, the more you pick up on stuff that is deep. […] It’s party music, but it’s also really deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s song, \u201cStinkler\u201d perfectly exemplifies what Simpson references. The track is an early draft of their song \u201cWinkler,\u201d full of a random array of lyrics\u2014such as \u201cSweet Jane, Rube Gold\/Old space, trap door\u201d\u2014spouted off of the top of Schaefer\u2019s head in a stream of consciousness. The song\u2019s description on Bandcamp reads, \u201crecorded in secret at night!\u201d Schaefer laughs as he retells the motivation behind the cheeky description: \u201cI thought I would just put a little joke in there, I wanted to make it sound mysterious. It was actually recorded in a practice room at our school; we recorded it before we knew what the song was. All the words in that recording are nonsense […], it was all based on the sound of the words. Afterwards, I listened to what it sounded like I was saying and wrote all that down, but it was very spur of the moment. I didn’t want to say that we recorded it at school, because there was a rule against it. It’s no longer illegal, but when we released that song, you couldn’t release music you recorded on the campus. That’s why it’s \u2018secret\u2019 and \u2018at night\u2019\u2014because night is when all the cool stuff happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides narrowly avoiding illegal recording charges, the band has compiled plenty of fun memories in their four years of working together. November of 2021 held one of their fondest, during a tour of the West Coast. A venue booking had fallen through, and the band was scrambling to find another place to perform. Luckily, Schaefer called on a friend who kindly offered his back yard to the cause. The band expected no one to come out on such short notice, but Schaefer recalls, \u201cMy good friend Ben rode his bike down the street and told everybody that he saw that there was music happening at his house. Surprisingly enough, either from hearing the music from a couple houses down or from whoever he found on the street, we managed to fill his backyard. There were hula-hoopers, everyone was barefoot, and there were beautiful surfers out there. We finished off with a dive in the ocean because the house was on the beach. It’s pretty picturesque.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like that story implies, the band has a knack for getting people on their feet. People readily embrace whatever vibe that Winkler happily puts out. \u201cOur goal is to make really fun music that people want to dance to,\u201d Simpson asserts. Schaefer agrees, saying, \u201cIt’s just fun. That energy is what we figured that we have to offer […]. Music is about getting across how you’re feeling, and sometimes we’re feeling pretty good\u2014that’s what we try to get across.\u201d
Fans looking for a little more Winkler-induced fun have a lot<\/em> to look forward to. While their Bandcamp description describes their music as \u201cmusic made in the bedroom for the bedroom,\u201d they will soon be departing from the bedroom and taking the stage, opening for Loving<\/span><\/a> at the Crystal Ballroom on Thursday, April 14, and will be embarking on a short tour of the West Coast on April 28. They are also in the midst of recording their debut EP, something that Schaefer admits is well past due. \u201cThis EP in a lot of ways is the first spark,\u201d Schaefer reveals, \u201cIt has some different sounds than we usually do live, and as well as a couple that we do perform. It’s going to be exciting, but I don’t know if it’s necessarily what everyone will expect.\u201d Rest assured, \u201cIt’s gonna be a welcome addition to our discography,\u201d Simpson adds. <\/p>\n

Winkler is here for both a good time and <\/em>a long time. If you want to keep up with all things Winkler, \u201cCome to shows, say hello, buy a t-shirt, and listen to the music,\u201d Schaefer offers. The band has a lively Instagram<\/span><\/a> and Tiktok<\/span><\/a> presence, and is easily streamable on Spotify<\/span><\/a> or Bandcamp<\/span><\/a>. And while their song might exclaim, \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know Who You Love,\u201d Winkler sure hopes that you\u2019ll love them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
