NASHVILLE, TN – Fresh off their Opry debut, travelin’ Texas troubadours, The Wilder Blue, sign with Nashville-based management companies, Make Wake Artists and Deep Roots Management. The Texas 5-piece will be co-managed by Make Wake’s Chris Kappy and Deep Roots’ Dylan Wright, with Make Wake / Deep Roots’ Eric Bergerand HB Riordan as partnering day-to-days.
“Combining talents and working together is how The Wilder Blue got to where we are,” Zane Williams said. “Adding the talented folks at Make Wake Artists and WME to our team is the perfect opportunity to take us even farther and we are pumped to take this journey together.”
“We are very excited to be a part of the team that represents The Wilder Blue,” Kappy said. “This supergroup of musicians and vocal talent is something to behold. With five-part harmonies and musicianship that rivals a band of session players, we know that witnessing this live show is a joy for any music lover. We look forward to helping more eyes and ears experience the phenomenon that is The Wilder Blue.”
“We are thrilled about our partnership with this exceptionally talented group of individuals comprising The Wilder Blue,” Wright said. “Their mastery of five-part harmonies is on par with the industry’s finest, showcasing a level of musical excellence that is truly remarkable. With their exceptional songwriting, we anticipate that this band will make a significant impact on both the country and Americana music scenes.”
The Americana band formed in 2019 with the start of primary frontman and songwriter Zane Williams and lead guitarist Paul Eason. Bassist Sean Rodriguez, drummer Lyndon Hughes, and multi-instrumentalist Andy Rogers solidified the outfit that fans refer to as, “gripping and gorgeous five-part harmonies.” As their band continues to emerge out of Texas, they’ve also signed with WME for global representation, working with WME Partner Braeden Rountree and agents Geoff Turner and Carrie Murphy.
“We have been big fans of The Wilder Blue’s incredible music for some time,” Turner said. “The energy and musicianship they bring in a live setting is a level all its own, and we are honored to be a part of their team.”
The new partnerships come after a collaboration with Make Wake’s original artist, Country superstar and 2x CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs. Their cover of Steve Young’s single, “Seven Bridges Road” quickly rose to the band’s top-streamed song to date with more than 2.5 million streams on Spotify. Listen here.
In a blend of Texas twang and Southern harmonies, The Wilder Blue continues to put their spin on rock-influenced country in their latest album ‘Super Natural’ produced by Grammy-nominee Brent Cobb. They said it’s a true collaborative effort where ideas, constructive criticism, and value are demanded by all parties. Listen to the full album at thewilderblue.com.
They’ll join Combs on his upcoming Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour which will consist of 30 stadium shows across North America, starting on April 12. The supporting lineup will feature other Make Wake Artists, including Hailey Whitters, Drew Parker, and Colby Acuff. Find tickets at lukecombs.com.
