Will Wilde

Will Wilde has taken the harmonica way beyond its traditional blues roots since he first emerged on the music scene in 2010.  Wilde?s hard-edged harmonica steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson.  "I?m always looking to make new sounds with the harmonica, pushing its boundaries, trying to change people?s perception of it.?  In fact Wilde has gone one step further and created his own signature "Wilde Tuned" harmonicas so he can play licks that weren?t possible before.  ?They enable me to hold my own with any blues rock guitarist.?    Wilde has performed at blues clubs and festivals all over the World and has released four studio albums and one live album: Unleashed (2010), Raw Blues (2013), Live In Hamburg (2015), Bring It On Home (2018) and Bad Luck Friday (2022), as well as appearing as a guest harmonica player on albums by Walter Trout, Earl Thomas, Toby Lee, Dani Wilde, Marcus Malone, Krissy Matthews and Brave Rival.  Wilde was nominated "Instrumentalist of the Year" in the UK Blues Awards 2024
