What They're Sayin'
In October 2024, Winterlark capped off an EP Quartet, a four-year run of two dozen original songs. They have found airplay on AAA, college, and Americana radio stations across the U.S.
SING TO ME ABOUT TOMORROW
“Jazzy roots duo Winterlark bring us a charming number with a somewhat unlikely subject– emojis. Well, and love gone not-so-right, too.”
—The Bluegrass Situation
“After multiple listens I struggle to define the music as jazzy folk or folk infused jazz. It is quite unique in the way it blends the two genres so convincingly that it is difficult to detect the seams . . . It straddles the two genres like a circus tightrope walker that never shows a moment of being off balance.”
—Luke Wolk, Radio Guitar One
YOU SEND ME A PHOTOGRAPH
"With their intricate compositions and hauntingly delicate vocals, Winterlark creates an immersive sonic landscape that lingers long after the last note fades . . . [Their] ability to capture raw emotions and distill them into captivating melodies is a testament to their artistry and musicianship. This EP is a true gem.""
—Hillary Tran, Imperfect Fifth
"Winterlark’s jazz-infused sound … the perfect balance between the improvisational nature of jazz and the accessibility of a well-crafted song."
—v1nylm@tt, Wax Vinyl Records
IN WALKED WINTERLARK
“Winterlark have landed on an urban folk musicality that blends literate lyrics; bossa nova and soul rhythms; and the harmonic, melodic, and improvisatory traditions of jazz.”
—It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine
“Breezy, bluesy, bittersweet and beguiling . . . sharp and sophisticated”
—Darryl Sterdan, Tinnitist
WHEN I SAW YOU STRANDED THERE
"These San Francisco Bay Area singer-songwriters know how to tell a story.... Schragg and Olson's vocals blend together with cozy chemistry."
—Kelsey Marlett, Two Story Melody
Winterlark "pays tribute to The Beatles while evoking the charming repartee that Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong had on their fabled duet recordings."
—Matt Micucci, Jazziz
