Windfall in the News
Together again: Couple headline GV's Got Talent
Char and Tim Seawell moved to Green Valley in June and, after performing together more than 25 years as Windfall, offloaded much of their musical equipment and pretty much decided to retire from the stage.
It didn't last long. They were back in front of an audience in December as part of Green Valley's Got Talent, and will be the show's featured act in January.
“We’re excited to be participating in it,” Char said. “It's an honor, without question. We had no idea there would be an audience for what we do here.”
The couple have been married more than 25 years and have been performing as Windfall just as long.
"Listening to the music of Char Seawell and Windfall is like hanging out in that favorite hole-in-the-wall coffee shop you adore... It's intimate, familiar, yet constantly surprises you, and provides a memorable experience you'll want to repeat again and again." Bree Noble,, CEO, #1 Award-Winning Women of Substance Radio & Podcast
“Windfall provides folk-type music that is a rare combination of family values and tunes that connect to the divine. Most of their music is original and hits you deep in your heart. I have been to coffee shops where they are performing and give the proceeds to a cause. They are simply delightful and we will drive miles to hear them. Plus, they have been one of the favorite groups that performed in The Lights of Christmas Starry Night Cafe at Warm Beach Camp. “ Nancy Nelson, Director of Donor Relations, Warm Beach Camp Ministries
Having hosted, produced, and MC'd for numerous concerts and musicians over the years, I enjoy listening to Windfall's music and working with them…their award-winning compositions and harmonies, as well as their musicianship. They have a connection to humanity, evidenced by their music and their behavior. Hence, I highly recommend their current venture, "Concerts with a Cause." Windfall accepts no remuneration for their generous performance. Hear them, donate. You'll be glad you did! Windfall, the talented musician duo, Tim & Char Seawell, are a delight to hear and be present with. Mary Dessein, author, musician, concert emcee and organizer.
