The Wild Feathers

Rock & roll has changed, expanded and developed with the times yet The Wild Feathers believe the fundamentals should still be at the forefront of their music. The Nashville four piece have an ability to create music which sounds fresh yet could have easily been played in dusky basements in the 1960s, this blurring of sound has created a pure version of rock that they have then manipulated through their releases.

Their classic sound has been delighting fans all over since their formation in 2010 and they know have a loyal following who pack out their shows and sing along to favourites such as the smooth 'I Can Have You' or the somber 'If You Don't Love Me'. The band has recently been playing a fantastic cover of Tom Petty's 'Listen To Her Heart' which has been going down wonderfully with their audiences, it allows them to show off their skills as musicians as each proficiently hit every chord on their acoustic guitars whilst Ricky Young croons the classic lyrics.

Wild Feathers have enjoyed sharing the stage with Delta Spirit, Surfer Blood and The Heavy, even landing an opening spot on Paul Simon’s 2011 fall tour so they have had some brilliant teachings and the influences of these musicians is apparent in their show. Tickets are available now for their upcoming tour.

It was a great show by The Wildfeathers at Lee's Palace in Toronto last nite. The band rocked the full house crowd to songs off their latest release, Lonely is a Lifetime, as well as their self titled debut. Well crafted and delivered songs by these musicians will please fans for years to come.

To my own personal delight Taylor Burns made a well delivered political statement without saying a thing. He merely displayed the back of his guitar which had "fuck trump" on it in masking tape letters.

For the final song of the night warm up band, & newcomers to our side of the border, The Shelters, joined The Wildfeathers for a memorable version of The Beatles song With A Little Help From My Friends.

What a show! These guys were as good live as I had always hoped. Both opening bands were great too.....all three bands got on stage together at the end and sang "With a little help from my friends", gave me chills. Fun, fun night of music! Come back to Columbus soon!
