Band Bio:
The Wildwoods bring a pioneering sound to American Roots Music. Their heartwarming lyrics and vocals are rich in love and happiness, wrapped in a style of music that is like no other with influences from old time country masters and today’s pop sound. People of all ages are drawn to that sound. Mallory Gruben, from HC Media Online reported, “The Wildwoods seemed to face no obstacle in gaining the full attention of the audience, receiving a standing ovation by the end of their second set.”
Talented songwriters, The Wildwoods placed two songs in the top 10 of the 2015 Omaha Performing Arts Songwriting Competition, and these songs are featured on their newest album entitled, Take A Chance. Keith Finn, music critic, from The Daily Nebraskan, said “The album, Take A Chance, is a country album filled with love songs. The musical talent displayed on this album will produce a sigh of relief for any country lover.”
Residing in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods’ Noah Gose (vocals, guitar, banjo, percussion), Chloe Pinkman (vocals, violin, mandolin), and Noah Pinkman (guitar, bass, uke) were drawn to music at an early age. They are no stranger to the stage with over 125 performances in 2015 alone, and have wowed music festivals including Wakarusa, Nebraska Folk & Roots, and The Flatwater Music Festival.
