Description

Wyndfall, a dynamic quartet of flute, guitar/vocal, cello & drums, is folk rock mixed with traditional Celtic melodies, and jazz improvisation mixed with classical interpretations. Laurie's classical training, Tom's jazz experience, and Chris' folk & rock background fuse into a brand new, fresh acoustic sound. Chris Laughery's strong vocals "summon the ancient troubador" and are supported by his solid guitar playing. On flute, pennywhistle & ocarinas, Tom Reese mixes jazz & blues lines into his improvisational palette.

Laurie Haines Reese encourages the cello to move beyond it's traditional roles, providing a strong improvisational foundation for the Celtic, Irish, folk rock, jazz, blues, & bluegrass/newgrass tunes in Wyndfall's repertoire. Drummer Jeff Stabley lays down a driving beat and insinuates the complex rhythms of jazz (well, there's a few times it just drives!) Wyndfall's influences include Jethro Tull, Bela Fleck, David Grisman & New Grass Revival, Turlough O'Carolan, JS Bach, John Coltrane, Miles Davis & Paul Simon.

Wyndfall recently opened for Gaelic Storm (a crowd of over 17,000!), Grey Eye Glances & others. Quickly becoming a popular band at festivals, look for them in your area soon! Let us know if you'd like us to come to a venue near you.

Their love of performance is immediately engaging, while bringing accurate performances of traditional music to audiences east to west, north & south. Wyndfall's musical repertoire ranges from Turlough O'Carolan (the "Bach" of Irish music), to traditional folk tunes & songs, contemporary songs, to our own unique originals. They also include cover tunes like Jethro Tull's Kelpie & Cup of Wonder; Nights in White Satin; Beatles tunes & others!
