We Mavericks - Folk Quartet
About
Masters in the art of connection, this rare union of original musical minds reach right into your soul by playing straight from theirs. You could call them contemp-folk, alt-country or chamber-pop, but no words describe the wonderful way they connect with their audiences.This duo of duos bring worldly originals that pack a punch: Songstress Victoria Vigenser gives meaning to cliches with her phenomenal voice and driving guitar, while violin/mandolin maestro Lindsay Martin pulls hundreds of emotions from one set of strings. With depth and feeling, internationally renowned cellist Rachel Johnston will bring a tear to your eye with stunning skill, as musical mastermind Trent Arkleysmith adds complex and sensitive layers to every track with cello, mandolin and banjo. Oh, and did we mention - they all sing!?!
Currently touring new album “Heart of Silver” to worldwide acclaim, they have received rave reviews across the UK, Europe and Australia. Having already amassed a multitude of accolades including nominations as 'Best Folk Artist' in both the Aotearoa Music Awards and the Australian Folk Music Awards, it’s no wonder they are becoming international festival favourites.
