About We Mavericks:
Original, wild folk that resembles everything else. This duo packs hefty, emotional punches, with hands wrapped in silk and songs to heal the scars. You’ll swear you hear twins, with sounds and harmonies you just can’t pick apart.
AU’s Lindsay Martin finally brings his sensitive strings and velvet vocals to the fore, while NZ’s songstress Victoria Vigenser delivers gritty, observant lyrics and driving rhythms with a truly magnificent voice.
Vigenser and Martin bring out the best in each other, and you can hear it. They met at a rainy festival in NZ’s capital one day, both accompanists, never expecting to step up and take the stage together a couple of years later. After a handful of performances as a duo in 2018, the audience gave them no choice but to continue- Now their hooky originals and crazy stories will have you enthralled.
Born in Auckland NZ and raised on the water, Victoria Vigenser floated off into the country and put down some roots in tiny Tutira, Hawkes Bay. She writes about the now but would probably shrivel up without the odd dose of history-laden, finger-in-ear, folk club harmony. She moved with the music and is now most likely to be spotted wandering around with a fishing rod in the Aussie sun, singing quite loud, without any shoes on.
Hailing from the Riverina of NSW, Lindsay Martin is best known for his particularly sensitive and unique violin accompaniment and work as a recording engineer/producer. As an acclaimed career musician he has many strings to his bow and many projects to his name: He’s also a multi-instrumentalist, closet vocalist, trout hunter, hair model and medieval archer. You’re likely to find him mixing tracks and/or something delicious over a fire.
