Windborne supported by FreePlay at Aurora Cultural Centre!
Dec 2 “The most exciting vocal group in a generation,” Windborne’s captivating show draws on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable. Boston based, Windborne are adherents to folk music’s long-time alliance with social activism, labor and civil rights, and other movements that champion the oppressed, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Suba Sankaran and Dylan Bell’s Freeplay will support with their vocalizing a cappella and enhanced harmonies.
