South for Winter: Nashville Dream Folk & Murder Ballads

Doors open at 5 pm, music starts at 7:30 pm. Come down early for the food truck, bar service, and sunset view of Coronet Peak!

After their 2024 sell-out show at the Waikaka Church in Queenstown last year, South For Winter are returning this Feb 2025 for two nights! This time they're bringing their new album and their classically-trained cellist all the way over from Nashville, Tennessee. The show will kick off at 7:30pm, but doors will open to the public from 5pm... So come down early, meet the band, grab a drink and soak up the awe-inspiring scenery of this epic location! There will also be a food truck and bar on-site.

With a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-formed and Nashville-based trio South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. The act is comprised of kiwi Nick Stone, Coloradan Dani Cichon, and Michigander Alex Stradal, and together the three multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine elements such as percussive acoustic guitar, cello, mandolin, suitcase stomp, resonator guitar, and effortless harmonies into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as impeccable”.

The band has landed accolades such as a Semi-Finalist in the 2023 and 2022 International Songwriting Competition, Finalist for Best Group in the 2023 International Acoustic Awards, Official Artist at South by Southwest Music Festival in 2023, Official Showcase Artist at Folk Alliance International in both 2022 and 2024, and “Most Wanted” Emerging Artist at Falcon Ridge Festival in 2018. Their latest album, Of Sea and Sky - released May 16, 2024 - has already reached hundreds of thousands of listeners, raised over $20,000 via a Kickstarter campaign, and sold-out shows across North America, New Zealand, and Europe.
