The Wildwoods

Friday, September 27th, 2024 at 7:30 PM | 7th Street Loft

In the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods, a folk/Americana trio led by Noah and Chloe Gose, accompanied by the bassist Andrew Vaggalis, deliver a musical journey through the soul of American roots. With international songwriting acclaim and festival triumphs, their latest release, “Foxfield Saint John” (2023), solidifies them as a captivating force in the folk scene. They have been semifinalists in the International Songwriting competition and finalists in the FreshGrass Music Festival Band Competition. Their music, though comfortably under the folk/Americana umbrella, weaves intricate chord structures and emotional textures that defy genre boundaries. Together, their harmonies resonate with artful sincerity, drawing inspiration from nature, their shared experiences of growing up in Nebraska, and life on the road.
