Laurie's classical training, Tom's jazz experience, and Chris' folk & rock background fuse into a brand new, fresh acoustic sound. Chris Laughery's strong vocals "summon the ancient troubador" and are supported by his solid guitar playing. On flute, pennywhistle & ocarinas, Tom Reese mixes jazz & blues lines into his improvisational palette.
Laurie Haines Reese encourages the cello to move beyond it's traditional roles, providing a strong improvisational foundation for the Celtic, Irish, folk rock, jazz, blues, & bluegrass/newgrass tunes in Wyndfall's repertoire. Drummer Jeff Stabley lays down a driving beat and insinuates the complex rhythms of jazz (well, there's a few times it just drives!) Wyndfall's influences include Jethro Tull, Bela Fleck, David Grisman & New Grass Revival, Turlough O'Carolan, JS Bach, John Coltrane, Miles Davis & Paul Simon.
Wyndfall recently opened for Gaelic Storm (a crowd of over 17,000!), Grey Eye Glances & others. Quickly becoming a popular band at festivals, look for them in your area soon! Let us know if you'd like us to come to a venue near you.
