Details
The Wandering Hearts achieved their second consecutive #1 on the UK official Americana Chart. They built on the breakthrough success of their ‘Wild Silence’ debut with 2021’s self-titled second album, recorded between Woodstock and Omaha with producers Simone Felice, David Baron, and Mike Mogis.
The album arrived at a second wave of critical acclaim and was championed by Bob Harris at BBC Radio 2 (who previously awarded them his Breakthrough Artist at the UK Americana Awards). It cemented the trio’s reputation as one of the leading lights in British Folk-Americana – as underlined by their further nomination for Album Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards 2022, alongside Yola and The Staves.
The Wandering Hearts are the only British act to debut at both the iconic Ryman Theatre and The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in the same week. They’ve also shared stages and tours across the UK and US with artists such as the late greats Tom Petty, John Prine and Justin Townes Earle, Margo Price, Lukas Nelson, Robert Plant, and Eagles.
Signed to Chrysalis Records for their third album, the band has had a busy 2023 with standout performances at SXSW in Austin, Black Deer Festival, and a forthcoming Americanafest show in Nashville, as well as extensively supporting and performing on stage alongside Jack Savoretti on his summer tour.
The release of their EP ‘Hesperus’ in May, followed by their addition of ‘Voices’ to the much-lauded Nick Drake anthology ‘The Endless Coloured Ways’ in July (alongside Bombay Bicycle Club, Feist, Aurora, Emile Sande, Self Esteem, and more), all hint at a flavor of their forthcoming album (due 2024). The new material puts a sharp focus on their world-renowned three-part harmonies to explore their Folk-Rock influences, blending flavors that bring to mind Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, and contemporaries like Milk Carton Kids and First Aid Kit.
