Tonight, when Cameron Winter performs the first of two sold out shows at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, there will be no opening act. Nor will Winter be joined by any backing musicians. It’s just him. That’s in a few hours. For now, Winter’s in the backyard of an empty bar, his tall frame is folded into a small metal chair.

Models are sometimes not jacked. There are fewer good gyms in Manhattan than, say, in Los Angeles, and stateside restaurants rely more on vegetable oils than those in Milan. But if you go deeper, there is a very real Venn overlap.
