Trouble in the Wind has been labeled as folk, Americana, alternative, country, surf rock …etc but the Southern California quartet likes to call themselves “rock and roll”. The band’s stripped-down organic sound is a multi-instrumental collective fronted by songwriter Robby Gira, whose staggering powerful voice creates the center of attention of their songs. The group’s instrumentation of accordion, upright bass, brushes, banjo and guitars color the emotional songs which blend and range from ballads to surf folk to soulful rockers. Trouble in the Wind's unique ability to blend genres makes them accessible to fit into any venue.

Music is my passion. I have played gigs all over the United States and internationally as well. I have a very distinctive original style and a truly one of kind voice that I have been working on since I was a young kid. I play solo gigs as well as full band gigs. I sing, play guitar, write, and produce. My original full band album can be found on many outlets such as CDbaby.com, iTunes, Spotify, Youtubemusic, and many other sources. The name of the album is Confessions of a Madman by Dominic Cordello and I have included two songs from the album below. I have been playing gigs and performing for more than half of my life. The types of venues I have played include festivals, bars and restaurants, music halls, showcases, weddings, corporate events, and private parties. I have absolutely no problem coming out to audition for an event if need be. I have more than 6 hours of cover and original music in my repertoire including genres ranging from Classic Rock, Adult Contemporary, Alternative, Pop, Jazz, Funk, Soul and Classical. I truly believe my purpose in life is to spread my love around the world through my music so help me fulfill this prophecy and entertain you!

It all started with a question: “What if we formed a duo?” Songwriters Ashley E. Norton and Edward A. Williams had been through a number of musical endeavours individually - including duos - and the prospect of a new project sounded intriguing. As details were hashed out, the core principles became readily evident: have fun and tour often. With a large stable of strong self and co-written songs and a prominent mission statement, Ash and Ed were ready to embark on a new journey. All that was needed was a name. Again, a question: “How about ‘whitherward’?” The name took quickly, gaining a life of its own; within days, a website was created, local shows were booked, recordings were done, and a small tour was constructed. It was exciting and validating; a musical project where the sky was the limit, and no challenge seemed insurmountable. Then, after surveying the current outlook of their career, a new question arose: “What if we toured full-time?” It would mean a lot of sacrifice - regular work schedules would be scuttled, permanent housing foregone, and material possessions reduced to a minimum. The performance requirements of sustaining a full-time tour would be grueling, and the workload more than doubles when considering the financial commitment required of being on the road indefinitely. But amongst all the new responsibilities and stresses, there’s an inherent mystery about the open road - from a typical human vantage, it’s impossible to see what is around the next bend, over the next hill. In an ironic twist, this provides a startling clarity about life and how it can be lived - as so many people profess - day by day. When you can only see as far as the next hill, it somehow manages to decrease the amount of worry about what’s on the other side. Rather, it helps to build a sense of wonder for what’s over there, and you want to keep pushing to see it for yourself. The duo now has four self-produced, self-published EPs full of intricate, thoughtful music, putting the emotions of life on the road and outside of the box on display. A full length album is in the works. New collaborations with bassist Patrick Hershey and violinist Stephanie Groot on both the 4th EP and the upcoming full-length album expand the sonic landscape of the duo’s efforts. In addition to playing over 200 shows a year, their travels enable them to reach a number of diehard fans, new destinations, and old friends that serve to grow an ever-expanding audience. Whitherward is an Old English adverb that means “in which direction”. The word seems to invite an eternal question; it feels like the perfect fit for a duo that constantly seeks to reinvent itself in every aspect of its existence, always looking for the next impossible question to answer. There is forward; there is backward; and then there is Whitherward.

Original work: we like to deliver conscious rock, sprinkled with pop. and every now and then, we make a lovey-dovey song. but still, very conscious. we hark back to the days of two guitars, one bass, drums, and some harmonies; tossed with phaser and chorus. nature: timid but edgy We do cartoon covers mixed with hints of psychedelia! The sentimental feels, including but not limited to, "Scoobey doo" and "You've got a friend in me" (Toy Story), are exclusive to HDT! We also do some Beatles and Strokes covers!

Sibling duo Anna Lee and Willie Fleming have been performing music together since they were old enough to sing. Typically they perform with a larger band, Finnegan Blue, but have the ability to scale down to a duo act to better suit different venues. As a duo, they have performed all over San Diego at coffee shops, happy hours, yoga studios, and outdoor music festivals. They perform a wide range of world music due their unique instrumentation: guitar, mandolin, and trombones. This smaller ensemble of San Diego band, Finnegan Blue, runs the gamut from irish, bluegrass, reggae, and a little bit of New Orleans second line!
