The Waifs May 5, 2008

The Waifs' acoustic guitars and honeyed harmonies infuse audiences with infectious energy. The first Australian act ever presented at the prestigious Newport Folk Festival, this group has taken America by storm. Old Springs Pike blends the cricket chirp of a suburban slow-fade with the subway scream of metropolitan mayhem. Using four-part harmony as a diving board, these early twenty-somethings find themselves in stylistic depths ranging from a fair-paced folk to a rarely restrained roots rock.
