Into the Wild: Texas-Based Pickers of The Wilder Blue Hit Hop Springs Feb. 2

With tight harmonies and skilled string pickin’, The Wilder Blue travel from a lively, rollicking bluegrass sound to simpler pop tunes to chilling and sparse numbers, keeping a vintage vibe alongside a thumping bass as they sing of the old days, adventures on the road and love.

Priding themselves on gripping storytelling and gorgeous five-part harmonies, The Wilder Blue—a Texas-based group fronted by Zane Williams—makes a Hop Springs stop on Friday, Feb. 2. They know it’s “tough makin’ music in the money biz,” but old guitar pickers keep playing it ’cause they can.

The Wilder Blue recently released its third full-length album, which contains a “Seven Bridges Road” collaboration with Luke Combs.
