Wyndfall

Chris Laughery (vocals & guitar)

A trio comprised of flute, guitar/vocal & cello, Wyndfall performs music of many cultures & styles. Laurie’s classical training, Tom’s jazz experience, and Chris’ folk & rock background fuse into a fresh acoustic sound. Wyndfall’s love of performance is immediately engaging, while bringing accurate performances of traditional music to audiences east to west, north & south. Wyndfall’s varied repertoire swings from folk to jazz to classical — incorporating improvisation everywhere possible! Wyndfall is folk rock mixed with traditional celtic melodies, and jazz improvisation mixed with classical interpretations for the celtic, Irish, jazz, blues, gypsy swing & rock tunes in Wyndfall’s repertoire. Acoustically oriented, this blend of neoclassical blues layered with whimsical vocals “summons the ancient troubador” in all of us. Wyndfall’s influences include Jethro Tull, Bela Fleck, David Grisman, New Grass Revival, Turlough O’Carolan, JS Bach, John Coltrane, Miles Davis & Paul Simon. … more …
