WINDBORNE (USA)
If you have seen American vocal group Windborne before, you know that they are no ordinary vocal group. Their songs, passion, harmonies and performances create an unforgettable live experience. Over the almost 10 years they have been performing, they've amassed a global following of people who have discovered these old songs that Windborne have brought into the present through their artistic arrangements and engaging performance style.
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. The singers educate as they entertain, sharing stories about their songs and explaining the context and characteristics of the styles in which they sing.
BBC Traveling Folk describes Windborne as “subverting expectations and redefining the genre… just absolutely phenomenal!” Audiences and critics lavish praise upon the singers not only for their technical mastery, but for the passion, engagement, and connection with each other and the audience that imbues each performance with a rare power.
But there’s another, crucial dimension to Windborne that guides and roots their artistry. They are adherents to folk music’s longtime alliance with social activism, labor and civil rights, and other movements that champion the oppressed, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Their latest project, Of Hard Times & Harmony, explores themes of social consciousness, singing in four languages and showcasing the depth of emotion their voices can evoke, as well as moments of true hilarity and wit
The group is committed to bringing vocal traditions to a younger audience and over the past year has found surprisingly viral success on TikTok for such unlikely genres as Corsican polyphony or early 20th century labor anthems.
ANDREA KIRWIN (AUS/FIJI)
Having spent the last 20 years touring as a singer/songwriter on the Australian Festival circuit, Aus/Fijian artist Andrea Kirwin has been bringing international acts out to Australia and introducing them to Australian audiences. Andrea met Windborne (Jeremy, Lauren, Lynn and Will) when she took part in Global Music Match, an international online collaborative program back in 2021, but it wasn't until she saw them perform live at WOMEX in 2022 that Andrea knew she had to try to bring Windborne out to play in Australia. They toured together in 2024 and Windborne were such a hit that they are back with a jam packed tour schedule. Andrea will be supporting them at Eudlo Hall and opening with some new songs performed on Guitar, Cigar Box Guitar, Stomp and Vocals. They will all sing together on Andrea's song Drummer Boy, which they collaborated on back in 2021 in the video below.
Please book your tickets early as Windborne's last concerts on the Sunshine Coast sold out. Thankyou for supporting our independent events and agency. We look forward to presenting Windborne in concert on the Sunshine Coast!
