Vicky Johnson and Steve Johnson are excited to announce that they are relaunching ‘Winter In Eden’ and Vicky has made the following statement:-
“Back in Summer 2023, when Benji decided to leave, we had a meeting and reflected on how difficult it was to move forward. We were struggling to find times when we were all available to meet let alone perform. So, we jointly made the decision to end.
Steve and I met in the school band and have been writing together since then. Performing is a buzz but it has always been about the songwriting. We knew that the creative process would continue for us and this was under the project name 'Never Untold'.
When we announced the end of the band, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love on social media for which we are so incredibly grateful. But it stopped us in our tracks and made us consider if Steve and I could take on the WIE name.
WIE was never about one person. We decided early on that it would be about 5 people who would all have a say so that we could grow the band together. This had its pros and cons but because of this we would only ever move forward with a consensus. We now have that agreement and are thrilled to confirm that Steve and I will essentially merge the Never Untold project to create a new WIE. Steve and I will write and perform all of the material with the assistance of guest musicians.
We have a new digital EP called ‘Therapy’ which we will release imminently with a video alongside. I know that a lot of you prefer physical releases and I do too but logistics won't allow at this time. However, we intend to release a new physical album next year which will include the songs on the EP. The album songs have been written and we are in the process of recording.
Although we do intend to perform this won't be a major part of the band moving forward as again it is all about the songwriting, so catch us when you can! Talking of which, we never did get chance to do the Nene Valley Rock Festival did we? So we are thrilled to confirm that we will be playing at the 2025 Festival and the details will follow shortly.
So that's it for now but stay tuned and we will keep you posted. Finally, thank you for the love and support you have shown us. It hasn't gone unnoticed!”
