South for Winter

Formed in New Zealand and now based in Nashville TN, South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. Composed of Coloradan Dani Cichon and New Zealander Nick Stone, the two multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine elements such as haunting harmonies, finger-style guitar, storytelling lyrics, foot percussion, and mandolin into a genre-bending sound often compared to acts like <a href="spotify:artist:5U6leWxYKsuTkd4kXcF1a6" data-name="The Crane Wives">The Crane Wives</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6J7rw7NELJUCThPbAfyLIE" data-name="The Civil Wars">The Civil Wars</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3HR1xtIsUefdFnkI1XHgeA" data-name="The Dead South">The Dead South</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0YHgnSkV3S5mvSSCTRWDi5" data-name="Poor Man&#39;s Poison">Poor Man&#39;s Poison</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5ammRFhN6wQXM30xlhndC5" data-name="Goodnight, Texas">Goodnight, Texas</a>.
