Will Wilde has taken the harmonica way beyond its traditional blues roots since he first emerged on the music scene in 2010. Always pushing forward, evolving and redefining his sound. He gained popularity on Youtube with his awe-inspiring harmonica covers of classic rock guitar solos such as Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird. Throughout 2022/23 Wilde has been touring with his critically acclaimed rock band Bad Luck Friday, but 2024/2025 sees him return to the blues with the recording of a new solo album.
Wilde’s hard-edged harmonica steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson.
