Var Gallery Presents: South for Winter

South for Winter Bio:

With  a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder  ballads, New Zealand-born and Nashville-based South for Winter’s sound  is as eclectic as their origins. The band is composed of New Zealander  Nick Stone, Colorado native Dani Cichon, and Michigander Alex Stradal,  and together the three multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine  elements such as cello, guitar, mandolin, and three-part harmonies into a  genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as “impeccable”.  South for Winter recorded their debut album Luxumbra with GRAMMY  award-winning producer Matt Leigh and crowdfunded its independent  release in 2020. Luxumbra’s release has landed the band accolades such  as a “Most Wanted” Emerging Artist at Falcon Ridge Festival, “Top DJ  Pick” by John Platt of NYC's WFUV in 2021, and official showcase artist  at Folk Alliance International in 2022.
