A Winter Downpour was born from the ashes of a dark winter. Frontman Alberto Serrano Rivera founded the band in St. Cloud with an acoustic guitar and a handful of songs. The project grew to a full band before disbanding as each band member moved away.

Relocated to Duluth and reinvigorated, Alberto and former bassist Chris Barnholdt recruited the talents of drummer Ken Nyberg and avant-garde guitarist Paul Connolly. Kevin Zak took over on bass duties in 2013. Their new album, Vandrovec, I Need Help, features a collection of moody, introspective tracks that explore surviving the beauties and disappointments of everyday life.
