Variously compared with the music of Paul Simon, Glen Hansard and Jordie Lane, Westminster's unique brand of alternative folk draws on a range of influences across the musical spectrum.
Launching in 2018, Westminster builds on the momentum of the sum of its parts, with its collaborators having been involved in various musical projects for more than a decade.
Through brutally raw lyrics delivered across hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies, Westminster has captivated audiences at numerous folk festivals and classic Sydney venues.
