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.
