South For Winter
With a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-formed and Colorado-based, South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. The act is composed of New Zealander Nick Stone and Coloradan Dani Cichon, and together the two multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine ethereal harmonies, poetic lyricism, percussive finger-style guitar, bluesy resonator, suitcase stomp, and driving mandolin into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as “impeccable”. South for Winter has received nominations such as Finalist for “Best Group/Duo” in the 2023 International Acoustic Music Awards and Semi-Finalist in the 2023 and 2022 International Songwriting Competition. Their music has been praised by sites such as American Songwriter ("laden with delicate harmonies, intricate guitar-work, and earthy vocals... impeccable sound"), No Depression ("must-see artist"), and AmericanaUK ("an ethereal, dreamy, journey...a journey well-worth taking").
Between releases, the duo has toured relentlessly both nationally and internationally, bringing audiences to their feet and selling out shows across New Zealand, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, the UK, Denmark, Poland, Canada, and the United States.
