Windborne

Hailed as the most exciting vocal group in a generation, internationally acclaimed vocal ensemble Windborne is known for their stunningly powerful arrangements and their ability to shift effortlessly between drastically different styles of traditional music within the same concert. While their musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures, they remain deeply rooted in the American singing traditions they have embodied since childhood. Praised for the purity of their voices, strength of their material, and attention to detail in their arrangements, Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon share a vibrant energy onstage - their connection to each other and to the music clearly evident. They educate as they entertain, telling stories about the music and explaining the characteristics and stylistic elements of the traditions in which they sing.The best musical discovery of the year...Stunningly powerful vocal harmony...Windborne sets a new bar for folk harmony singing today -Brian ODonovan, GBH, NPRThe four Windborne singers grew up immersed in the traditional song and dance communities of New England. For the past 20 years, Windborne has sought out masters of traditional singing styles in the US and around the world to study a variety of polyphonic music. Through these collaborations, they have developed the vocal agility and authentic sound for which they are known. In addition to their extensive repertoire of traditional and original American folk music, their dynamic concert programs can include songs from Corsica, the Republic of Georgia, the Balkans, Quebec, Occitania, and Basque country.A quartet the likes of which I havent seen since Coope, Boyes and Simpson, the Watersons, or The Voice Squad.

As groups and venues all over the country started reaching out to them, the group went full time in Dec 2017.

Seasoned teachers and song-leaders, they delight groups young and old with enthusiastic, clear, and nuanced instruction for musicians of all levels-regardless of background, language, or experience! Their performance never fails to awe their audiences, presenting something truly unique, and yet universal: The power, diversity, and innovation possible within the human voice, joined in harmony.
