Band Description: 

After playing together for years, multi-instrumentalist Josh Talbot and guitarist Ray Wynne formed the jam band Tailwind in 2021 to involve their Boston-based musician-friends in their craft. They have since been joined by drummer Marisa Gaetz, guitarist Trevor Ewald, vocalist Quinn Brodsky, and keyboardist Dominik Martinez. Drawing influence from funk, rock, and soul music, Tailwind cultivates a unique sound, backing Quinn's soulful vocals with funky rhythms and riffs.
