Charm of Finches

Indie folk duo Charm of Finches from Melbourne, Australia, make haunted tunes about love, grief and whispering trees. The sister duo has mastered the art of seamlessly pairing vocal harmonies with their many stringed instruments. Charm of Finches have enchanted many with their impressive musicianship and impeccable song writing, traversing melancholy and wonder in equal measure. 

The sisters, Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes, released their third full length album Wonderful Oblivion in  2021 through New York-based label AntiFragile Music to critical acclaim. They have since toured the UK and Europe in Spring/Summer 2022 and are set to return in January 2023. 

Winners of the Australian Folk Music Awards Best Folk Album (2022) and Music Victoria Best Folk Act (2021), their music has been nominated twice for the prestigious Australian Music Prize. 

Their 2019 sophomore album Your Company won the 2020 Independent Music Awards’ Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album – the same award won by Martha Wainwright the previous year.
