The bands’ new album Cheers, stands out in relation to their earlier folk heavy, Americana, alt country tunes, that boasted a banjo and a harmonica. The Wild Reeds released their first LP Blind and Brave, followed by The World We Built, and EPs- Best Wishes and New Ways To Die, which all caught significant press attention, radio play, and critical acclaim. It’s safe to say The Wild Reeds have been quietly preparing us for all that is to come, showcased in the newly released Cheers, and beyond. It took a little bit of digging to find out more about the recently elusive quintet. Soon after, they added a little more depth and a rhythmic foundation with Nick Jones on drums and Nick Phapiseth on bass.ĭue to the groups unique number of talented leading vocalists, The Wild Reeds have a dynamic that is all their own.

The female-power trio began backing each other at open mics and other shows, before they decided to combine their talents and form a group. Silva, Lee, and Howe first met in Los Angeles, while frequenting the same live shows. All of these talented women alternate lead vocals and writing. The Wild Reeds began as a trio, made up of Sharon Silva, Kinsey Lee and Mackenzie Howe, who are all singers, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists. The group has come a long way since then.

The Wild Reeds were performing a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR, after their debut album Blind and Brave had recently been released in 2014. I stumbled upon this charismatic, soulful group on the wild, wild bottomless pit of YouTube last year. LA based American indie folk-pop rock band The Wild Reeds, released their newest album Cheers, earlier this month on March 8th.
