South For Winter

In the summer of 2014, New Zealander Nick Stone and Coloradan Dani Cichon met as volunteers building greenhouses in South America. There, on a Peruvian rooftop, the two musicians wrote their first of many songs together; a song that would one day become South for Winter’s first single, “Fallen Seeds.”

After years of pursuing separate musical projects on opposite sides of the world, Stone and Cichon joined up again as a duo in Christchurch, New Zealand. The two later moved the project to Nashville TN, where they met cellist Alex Stradal. Stradal rounded out the eclectic blend of instrumentation and vocals that has since become so characteristic of their music, and the sound and entity of South for Winter were officially born. As a trio, they hit the road; playing hundreds of shows throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and New Zealand and turning heads as they went.

Often described as “folk-blues," "roots," or “Renaissance,” South for Winter's songs are intoned with a depth of emotion and richness of experience that invites listeners into the story - eager and anxious in turn with each verse. In a landscape saturated with incredible songwriters and musicians, South for Winter have developed a sound all of their own. With meticulously crafted lyrics, captivating natural charisma, and an impressive assortment of instruments at their command, South for Winter have time and time again established themselves as a crowd favorite.
