Courtney Wing invites his listeners into a compelling world of carefree and unpretentious humanity. Adept instrumentation and a strong and resonant vocal style backed by a 15-piece ‘operatic folk’ ensemble characterizes Wing’s current work. This super group consists of members from Belle Orchestre and Godspeed! You Black Emperor as well as a 10-piece opera collective called Liederwolfe. Together, this dynamic group contributes to Wing’s compositions with symphonic textures so rich they melt even the most bitter-struck hearts.
Following this national coverage, Wing took NXNE by surprise with a triumphant showcase where the group not only played to a packed house but also graced the cover of NOW Magazine and received the critic’s choice nomination for ‘bands to have seen’ at the conference. Such high appraise has resulted in artist feature articles in the Montreal Voir, Montreal Mirror, Toronto NOW, and the Montreal Gazette and has landed Wing a booking relationship with Quebec based agency Bonsound.
