Real-life troubadours and masters in the art of connection, this rare union of original musical minds is bringing a new and distinctive voice to Australian music. Songstress Victoria Vigenser commands with powerhouse vocals and driving guitar while violin and mandolin virtuoso Lindsay Martin draws astonishing colour from every phrase. This year they have expanded their musical family with two fellow musical mavericks, a ‘duo of duos’: Internationally renowned cellist Rachel Johnston brings depth and aching beauty with cello and voice, and multi-instrumentalist Trent Arkleysmith completes the sonic architecture, layering vocals, cello, mandolin, banjo or guitar with intricate precision. Oh, and did we mention – they all sing!?!
Together, their luminous original sound and effortless connection create a sound that feels strangely both orchestral and intimate. Currently touring Heart of Silver to worldwide acclaim and with their third album on the way, they’ve earned rave reviews across the UK, Europe and Australia. This band are a musical phenomenon not to be missed; Expect epic harmonies, great stories and soul-stirring songs with a worldly appeal.
