Featuring gourd banjos, mining songs and haunting harmonies, Lay Around That Shack winds a path through American music, with side trips across the sea to its English roots. A departure from their typical repertoire of polyphonic singing traditions from around the world, Windborne’s signature four-part harmony breathes new life into old songs in their first studio album. The album was conceived of while performing on their US State Dept. American Music Abroad Musical Diplomacy tour of Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Angola, and will be released in the fall of, 2015.

Internationally acclaimed folk band Windborne is a group of vocal chameleons who specialize in close harmony singing, shifting effortlessly between drastically different styles of traditional music within the same concert. Their musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures, but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions. Praised for "the purity of their voices, strength of their material, and attention to detail in their arrangements," Lynn Mahoney Rowan, Will Thomas Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon share a vibrant energy onstage - their connection to each other and to the music clearly evident. They educate as they entertain, telling stories about the music and explaining the characteristics and stylistic elements of the traditions in which they sing.
