folk @ temperance | Charm of Finches

The charm of Finches are back ! Achingly beautiful sibling harmonies from this outstanding Australian duo. Extra date added! We have been fortunate to host some brilliant musicians from around the world. One of our favourites is Charm of Finches. Just perfect for our intimate venue. It will of course sell out pretty quickly. Australian sister duo Charm of Finches delivers intricate indie-folk that is simultaneously graceful and darkly bewitching. Their seamless blood harmonies traverse melancholy and wonder in equal measure. The sisters, Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes, now based in Scotland, have toured extensively throughout Australia, UK, Europe and Canada since 2014. Their fourth studio album ‘Marlinchen In The Snow’ was recorded in rural Nova Scotia with acclaimed Canadian producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Good Lovelies), inspired by the frozen beauty of the landscape, Grimm’s Fairy Tales from their childhood and their transient life on the road with their music. They return with the release of their new single ‘Meteor’, inspired by the powerful forces of nature that reflect a tumultuous inner world. Recorded by the rugged coastline of Victoria, Australia, and mixed in Canada, Meteor marks the beginning of a string of new music to be released throughout 2026. Charm of Finches are winners of the Australian Folk Music Awards Best Folk Album (2022), Music Victoria Best Folk Act (2021) and have been nominated twice for the Australian Music Prize. “Wonderful Oblivion is a triumphant indie folk effort – nostalgic yet fresh, haunting, but at the same time serene. ” - We Found New Music “Melbourne sister duo Charm of Finches are perched for stardom. For lovers of tight sibling harmonies, chamber folk, and those who long to be carried-away by a lullaby...” – ArianaMorgenstern KCRW Today's Top Tune “Wonderful Oblivion is a triumphant indie folk effort – nostalgic yet fresh, haunting, but at the same time serene. ” - We Found New Music “Melbourne sister duo Charm of Finches are perched for stardom.
