"One of the folk world's busiest and most entertaining duos"

Dubbed as one of the hardest working duos on the circuit, aside from touring around the UK, Winter Wilson has performed in Australia, Spain, Belgium and Canada. They have also released 11 albums, including "Live & Unconventional", their long-awaited live album, recorded on tour and at the Cropredy Festival with folk rock icons Fairport Convention.
"If you need evidence of just how special the duo Winter Wilson is, then Live & Unconventional delivers in abundance." - Steve Caseman, RnR magazine
"This is a brilliant, exceptionally well-recorded live album that really does convince that Kip and Dave are well and truly at the top of their game." David Kidman, Living Tradition Magazine.

"The most exciting vocal group in a generation"

Windborne's captivating show draws on the singers' deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable. With a 20-year background studying polyphonic music around the world, Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Rowan, and Will Rowan share a vibrant energy onstage with a blending of voices that can only come from decades of friendship alongside dedicated practice. The ensemble shifts effortlessly between drastically different styles of music, drawing their audience along on a journey that spans continents and centuries, illuminating and expanding on the profound power and variation of the human voice. After many years of serving as the vocal bedrock of the hit Boston institution "A Christmas Celtic Sojourn", Windborne is performing a full show of their favorite songs of the season! A joyful and heartfelt celebration of song, Windborne's lush vocals and unique arrangements bring light to a dark time, as they draw on midwinter music from traditional, classical, and folk from the US, British Isles, and beyond.
