Masters in the art of connection, this rare union of original musical minds reach right into your soul by playing straight from theirs.

You could call them contemp-folk, alt-country or chamber-pop, but no words describe the wonderful way they connect with their audiences.

This duo of duos bring worldly originals that pack a punch: Songstress Victoria Vigenser gives meaning to cliches with her phenomenal voice and driving guitar, while violin/mandolin maestro Lindsay Martin pulls hundreds of emotions from one set of strings. With depth and feeling, internationally renowned cellist Rachel Johnston will bring a tear to your eye with stunning skill, as musical mastermind Trent Arkleysmith adds complex and sensitive layers to every track with cello, mandolin and banjo. Oh, and did we mention - they all sing!?!

Currently touring new album “Heart of Silver” to worldwide acclaim, they have received rave reviews across the UK, Europe and Australia. Having already amassed a multitude of accolades including nominations as 'Best Folk Artist' in both the Aotearoa Music Awards and the Australian Folk Music Awards, it’s no wonder they are becoming international festival favourites.
