The band have also announced they will be performing on the Spotlight Stage in the main arena at Country to Country Festival this year, sharing the bill with Ashley McBryde and Chris Stapleton. They have also been nominated for ‘Artist of the Year’ at this years UK Americana Awards, the awards will take place on 31January.
The Wandering Hearts recently
returned from Americanafest in Nashville, where they led the UK charge of talent,
playing multiple shows at this year’s celebration of the best of Americana and roots
music. Over summer, the band performed at a string of UK festivals, including
BST Hyde Park headlined by Eric Clapton, Latitude, Black Deer and Standon
Calling.
In June, The Wandering Hearts
became the first UK band ever to debut at Nashville’s iconic venues, the Ryman
Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry, in the same week. They received a standing
ovation for their performance at Marty Stuart’s infamous Late
Night Jam at the Ryman where they shared the stage with Marty Stuart
And His Fabulous Superlatives, Margo Price, John Prine and Chris
Stapleton, as well as country-rock legends Chris Hillman and Roger
McGuinn of The Byrds.
After a brilliant Opry debut, The
Wandering Hearts were invited back to the iconic venue to perform for a second
time a week later. In addition, the band added slots at CMAFest, The
Basement and The Bluebird Café to their whirlwind
tour, earning a rapturous welcome at each show. The band travelled to the US
after receiving a personal invitation from legend Marty Stuart to join him on
the Nashville and Memphis dates of his tour after they supported him in the UK.
The Wandering Hearts were
discovered in the UK within half an hour of uploading their first demo online,
and shortly after were signed to Decca Records. Over the past 18 months,
The Wandering Hearts have built a loyal fan base with their signature sound
that transcends genres: this is what makes them so special. With their seamless
vocal harmonies, The Wandering Hearts are reminiscent of First Aid
Kit and Of Monsters and Men, whilst channelling Fleetwood Mac’s
pop sensibility and the storytelling of Chris Stapleton, all the
while keeping their British roots at heart.
In February, the band released
their debut album Wild Silence and picked up the
coveted Bob Harris Emerging Artist award at the UK
Americana Awards 2018, a prize hand-picked by the legendary broadcaster
himself. Bob Harris stated, “I was just blown away by them, by their harmonies,
their energy, their enthusiasm and of course the fantastic quality of their
music. I am truly thrilled for them and their new album is everything I hoped
it would be.”
