   About The Wishing Well
Create your own banner at MyBannerMaker.com!

Beguiling orchestral and lush, Melbourne band The Wishing Well create spellbinding sounds which produce a rich tapestry of mesmerizing folk, pop and rock. Performing together for just over twelve months, they are relative newcomers to the scene, The Wishing Well however come with an impressive musical maturity and remarkable background. Lead singer Jai Larkan has previously supported artists such as Bob Geldof, Andy White, Liam O'Maonlai and Tim Finn. Clearly The Wishing Well have defined their craft in a remarkably short timeframe together, having played an impressive 130 gigs on the live national circuit, including playing at the Queenscliff Music Festival. Music Oz Awards finalists (2007), The Wishing Well evoke an extraordinary gamut of emotions with their compelling and awe- inspiring arrangements spun around magnificently poetic lyrics. A cacophony of three part harmonies, wistful violin and majestic rhythms all melded to lead singer Jai Larkan’s achingly strong and haunting vocals. Life On The Border is The Wishing Well’s debut single, which is rich in textural depth, building gradually to dizzying heights only to momentarily pause and cascade into an orchestral crescendo. The song’s greatest strength lies within the poetry of the lyrics. Songwriter Jai Larkan conjures up such a vivid sentiment of being on the precipice of life, letting go of the past and facing one’s fears. In the melodic tradition of Ryan Adams, David Gray, Dave Matthews Band and The Waterboys, The Wishing Well’s first single Life On The Border appeals to lovers of emotive lyrics and melody. Their inspiring live performances captivate audiences and have created an enthusiastic and ever-growing fanbase. Life On The Border was celebrated by a tour beginning in February and winding up in June.
