We Mavericks

Masters in the art of connection, Lindsay Martin (AU) and Victoria Vigenser (NZ) - now resident in NSW, Australia - interweave effortless strings, soulful vocals and driving rhythms to form a singular, intense musical voice. The couple have been called contemporary folk, alt-country and acoustic pop, but words don’t capture their unbelievable musical kinship, or the deeply heartfelt way they relate to their audiences. Nominated Best Folk Artist in both AU and NZ, this troubadour duo have an inexplicable appeal that has seen them on a steep and fast rise to countless festival billings throughout 2022/23, with NZ, AU, UK and EU tours to accompany their highly anticipated sophomore release in 2024.
The instruments are joyous. Vic’s driving guitar holds the rhythm while Lindsay’s fiddle and mandolin soar in and out, dazzling, sweet, or intricate, and always dbrilliantly played. The singing is utterly magnificent. Vic’s voice is strong and raunchy yet sweet and clear where it needs to be. Lindsay’s voice is softer, but true – a perfect instrument for creating dynamic vocal blends. And dynamic is really the word for this duo. Their arrangements soar with full-throated abandon and then pull back with a restrained delicacy that lets the song shine through, all the time, keeping up the energy.
And the songs matter. Songs about life, shaded from dark to light, all ways through the emotional spectrum, written individually or together. Thrown into the mix is the occasional traditional song, beautifully arranged in their own style.
