About

Coalescing from Portland's thriving music scene, The Wild Wood is a high-energy string band drawing from Bluegrass, Folk, Punk, Gypsy Jazz, Funk and more. They resonate with that part of us which is rooted in a simpler way of life, while delighting us with dynamic arrangements, emotional vocal harmonies and virtuostic solos. Listening to The Wild Wood, one cannot help but to start moving and grooving.

This constellation of accomplished young stars (including 2 national champions - mandolin and twin fiddles) has been attracted toward one another by the affinity they share with traditional Folk music, it's re-emergence and evolution. The core band is comprised of mandolin, guitar, bass and fiddle, and can be expanded to include a twin fiddle and/or a drummer. A square dance caller is available too! Widely versatile in musical styles, The Wild Wood can accommodate musical requests.

The members of The Wild Wood are all full-time musicians who regularly appear at music festivals, house concerts, venues, weddings and more, all over the western states and Hawaii. Much more than entertainers, they bring the vibration of CELEBRATION to life's milestones, joys, unions, parties and happy memories.

The Wild Wood does travel nationally and internationally, so please inquire about flying The Wild Wood to your event!!

The Wild Wood full band played for an hour during cocktail hour. They were so easy to work with and we loved having them perform at our wedding.

The Wild Wood played our wedding and we could not be more pleased! They are a talented group of musicians and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding was outdoors at a bed and breakfast in the mountains, and we wanted a band that would be unique and capture the spirit of the place - we did not want the typical wedding band (not that there is anything wrong that). The Wild Wood fit the bill perfectly. I'd describe their style as indie/bluegrass/country. We had them do some classical tunes during our ceremony, and then some more upbeat tunes during the cocktail hour and dinner, (mostly or all original music they wrote). Their music really added to the atmosphere of the evening and was a big hit with the guests. For our first dance they did a cover of "naked as we came" and it was amazing. They were very gracious and gave us a copy of their CD which my wife now plays repeatedly! Note that we also had a DJ for the dance party at the end of the evening since a lot of our friends like to dance to hip hop and electronic, but I am sure Wild Wood could get folks on the dance floor, as well. Overall, we were very lucky to have them play our wedding!

The Wild Wood provided music for a family wedding. They were terrific! Their help with planning before the event was invaluable; Belinda was able to understand what I wanted and then make suggestions on how the band could add to my ideas. The variety of music at the band's command added so much to the different parts of the evening: classical music before and during the wedding, jazz standards with vocals during the cocktail hour, and bluegrass music for dancing after dinner. The dance music was a big score! Everyone had so much fun, and the band was so responsive to what was going on. We all so appreciated the band's talent, experience and professionalism.
