Winter People are a six piece hailing from Sydney, Australia. The band described their sound as "Post-Rock Folk music, blending the harmonies of the old world, with the distortions of the new. Songs of the modern wilderness". The group was formed in 2008 and recorded their debut 'The Dog Years EP' in early 2009. The band took a highly DIY approach, with songwriter Dylan Baskind recording, mixing and producing the tracks.

Francis originate from the darkest woods of Sweden. The band has been around since 2006 and have recently released their first single "Bad to the Bone" on the Swedish label Gravitation. The bands live perfomance has been descibed as an unleashed Tasmanian Devil singing heartbreaking gospelsongs. Selftitled debut EP to be released April 14th according to the bands homepage. Playing at SXSW 2010

Seamus Egan was born in Hatboro, Philadelphia in 1969. His parents returned to Foxford, Co. Mayo five years later and it was here that Seamus - on hearing Matt Molloy - became interested in traditional music. Martin Donoghue from Ballindine was his teacher during those formative years. On returning to America he was fortunate to meet Mick Moloney, the folklorist and banjo player. Mick acted as a mentor, guiding Seamus in both style and repertoire.
