South for Winter is an indie folk trio known for their distinctive blend of acoustic folk, blues, and classical influences, creating melodies that are both intricate and soul-stirring. Formed by New Zealander Nick Stone and Colorado native Dani Cichon, they were later joined by classically-trained cellist Alex Stradal, enriching the band's sound. The name 'South for Winter' evokes both Nick's southern roots and the idea of seeking warmth and change, a theme that resonates within their music.

Their intricate melodies and harmonies are layered together with a variety of instruments – from guitar to mandolin to cello – resulting in a sound that is organic and unique. Over their musical journey, they have captivated audiences with a string of emotive releases. Songs like "Wintersleep (Southern Lights)" and "Underneath the Blood Moon" showcase their ability to spin tales into songs, while the acoustic purity in "Acoustic Sessions" and "Always You (Acoustic)" highlight the raw musical chemistry among the trio. The evocative "How the Mountain" and the stirring "Ten Black Crows," along with other tracks, have solidified South for Winter's place in the indie music scene as storytellers who craft each song with care and depth.
