WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT WIND
“Refreshing” is the word most often used to describe the music of WIND. WIND consists of husband and wife, Nori & Barbie Kelley, with backing vocalist Shane Faux-Dugan. To date, WIND has released 19 albums and EPs. In 2020 they began to receive airplay on various “prog-rock” radio shows in the UK & US, resulting in a live slot on the “Prog & Rock Virtual Festival” on May 23, which attracted nearly 17,000 listeners. They have done live concerts on both “The Prog & Rock Show” & “Kiss That Prog” during UK tours in ’22, ‘23 & ’24 as well as several club shows. WIND’s brand new Christmas EP, entitled “A Night To Remember,” was released on October 18, 2024.
