Winona Wagner with Gillian Grogan

Winona Wagner is a musician, songwriter, and performer from the misty hills of the northern California coast. 

 

Her mythic songs and haunting vocals are full of melancholic longing and timeless beauty. Rooted in the folk music of the 1960s and inspired by modern indie songstresses, Winona’s sound is at once nostalgic and dew-fresh unique. She loves the music of Feist, Kate Wolf, Courtney Marie Andrews, and (of course) Joni. Now backed by an immensely talented band, Winona’s songs are free to come entirely alive, with shimmering chord progressions, siren-like harmonies, and melodies that will spirit you away to the stars.

 

Gillian Grogan is a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and van-dweller with roots in Sonoma County.

Grogan has woven bits of folk, indie, rock, and nature itself into a sonic landscape “unlike anything else you’ve heard in ‘folk’ music today” (Ear To The Ground). Tickled strings, floating vocals, hammered riffs and belted requests—she has taken the plot and given it curves, let it swell and shrink back again. Untamed and untethered, her pure yet earthy voice will silence the room one moment and have it in stitches the next. We All Need Someone To Shout For calls it “powerhouse emotive folk storytelling in the vein of Laura Marling”. NPR Music’s Felix Contreras calls her songwriting “six strings and the truth.”

She calls it “full-bodied folk.”

Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and traveling alone.
