“The best musical discovery of the year…Stunningly powerful vocal harmony…Windborne sets a new bar for folk harmony singing today.”
– Brian O’Donovan
WGBH-National Public Radio
Internationally acclaimed band Windborne is touring in support of their new project: Song on the Times: A Songbook and Album for Social Struggle.
Windborne was catapulted to recognition after a video of the group singing a protest song from the 1840s outside Trump Tower went viral, gaining over a million views between YouTube and Facebook. Windborne set out to raise $5,000 for the project, but ended up raising over $80,000 from 2,600 people, from every state, and 22 countries around the world!
Song on the Times is an illustrated songbook and album that collects music from working class movements for peoples’ rights in the US and UK over the past 400 years, and sings them for today’s struggles.
SingOut! Magazine named it “One of the Best Albums of 2017” and praises Windborne as “Some of the finest singers of protest and folk music that I have ever heard.” Blues and Roots Radio said, “Spectacularly good...utterly brilliant, a hugely impressive album.”
