>> Winnebago Orchestra
bio: The Winnebago Orchestra were formed in England in 2001. They are former Blue Aeroplanes guitarist Caroline Trettine and multi instrumentalist Spencer Roberts.
Together they perform a singularly eclectic, yet brilliant blend of melodic English beat poetry and song. After releasing a couple of albums on their own independent Oporto Records in 2002/3, they were snapped up by tuition in 2005.
It's impossible to draw comparisons, so no one does!
However, their influences range from the melodic pop of The Go Betweens, through to Nick Drake, Love, Fairport Convention, The Velvet Underground right through to Erik Satie and Laurie Anderson, but this provides but a fraction of a guide to their unique musical appeal.
Spencer's unique musical talent, creates sounds and landscapes which act as a cinematic canvas to singer-songwriter and former Blue Aeroplanes guitarist Caroline Trettine. Caroline, a former protege of Billy Bragg, adds an extra dimension to The Winnebago Orchestra with her sensual and folk orientated vocal style.
