The Wild
River
Band
Houston’s
Premier Western Swing Band
“It has been
a thrill watching this band evolve into one of the premier Western
Swing bands on the circuit today.
They dazzled me with their superb talent, arrangements, vocals
and harmonies. I'm very impressed!” So remarked Barbara Martin of Western Swing Monthly magazine after
she watched the band at this year’s West Texas Western Swing Festival
in Snyder,
Texas. The band
is based in the Houston Heights, which has been the source of many great performing and
visual artists in its history.
They play dancehalls, festivals, and private events in the
Houston area and beyond.
Western Swing is a merging of regional, European ethnic,
country/cowboy, and bluegrass music from the 20’s and 30’s with
pre- and post- WWII big band swing music. It is highly danceable
and typically features guitar, mandolin, banjo, steel guitar, fiddle,
saxophone, bass, and drums.
This “homespun” style music with a polished finish still
resonates with fans today. Their sound lands somewhere between Bob
Wills and the Texas Playboys and Asleep at the Wheel.
