I go to see their shows whenever they are close by. These young fellas bring a stage full of talent when they perform. They had a hard knock not too long ago when one of the fellas left the band, but they seem to have rebounded nicely with the new addition of a violinist. Their shows are high energy and fun. See them if you can!

Great show - it was 2 sets of heartfelt live music. Travis ripped on the banjo and mandolin. John came off drums to play the spoons. Sam played the guitar behind his head and later Austin joined John on drums for an amazing moment. Very fun show at an awesome outdoor venue!

The Ark in Ann Arbor is the best!!! The Way Down Wanderers were AWESOME. I just hope they get exposed to more people because they are so talented. This was my third time seeing them live and I've brought new people everytime who have become instant fans. Do yourself a favor and go see them live whenever they play close to you.

About The Way Down Wanderers
The Way Down Wanderers intricate, hypnotic rhythms call to mind 'Bittersweet Symphony' more than bluegrass traditional."
- Rolling Stone Country
"Somewhere on the spectrum between Old Crow Medicine Show and Mumford and Sons lies the spirited bluegrass-based artistry of The Way Down Wanderers. It is joyful, daring and occasionally sublime.”
- Associated Press
“In addition to songwriting skills wholly impressive for their youth, and their equally admirable musicianship, there is a charisma in their sound accompanied by a positivity that proves infectious.”
- No Depression
“The Way Down Wanderers is a group who "demonstrates it's arrived with firm mastery of its own vision” on the band's sophomore release, “illusions.”
- Pop Matters
"With ‘illusions', The Way Down Wanderers have produced a worthy experiment with form and genre in bluegrass music.”
