Skye Peterson is every bit as thoughtful and sincere as her songs are. Raised among a close-knit community of singer-songwriters who don’t fit the standard mold of Christian music, she has been long in sharpening her unique gift for truth-telling to an edge that cuts to the heart of it all: who is God, and why does it matter?

The result is a gently piercing style of alt-folk, steeped in the mysteries of Scripture yet concerned with the stuff of a knowable life. Her debut full-length, Where the Winter Was, reads like a poet’s journal, grappling, unsure, yet full of a deeply-rooted hope that calls the listener to stand wide-eyed before the ordinary, where there is more flower than snow, more resurrection than death.
