Windborne

“The best musical discovery of the year...Stunningly powerful vocal harmony...Windborne sets a new bar for folk harmony singing today.” -Brian O'Donovan, WGBH-NPR "A quartet the likes of which I haven't seen since Coope, Boyes and Simpson, the Watersons, or The Voice Squad. Just absolutely phenomenal!" -BBC Traveling Folk Internationally acclaimed vocal band Windborne specializes in close harmony singing, shifting effortlessly between drastically different styles of traditional music within the same concert. Their musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures, but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions. "The most exciting vocal group in a generation... subverting expectations and redefining the genre," Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon share a vibrant energy onstage. They have toured as cultural ambassadors with the US State Department through American Music Abroad, and their latest project is to bring together songs from four hundred years of movements for people’s rights and sing them for the struggles of today. They were catapulted to new heights in 2017 when clip of them singing a protest song from the 1840s outside Trump Tower went viral. "Completely enthralled with them from the first notes...their harmonies are gorgeous..." -No Depression
