“Must-see artist” –No Depression

With a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-formed and Nashville-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").
