COUNTRY AND AMERICANA
TRIO THE WANDERING HEARTS SPRING TOUR
Christmas Headline in
December , UK Tour in March/ April 2024
** See Dates Below **
Check out their latest tracks “About America” and “Not Misunderstood”
Following a huge tour
with Jack Savoretti, renowned Americana trio The Wandering Hearts are
set to treat us to a set of folk-tinged acoustic wonder in March and April 2024.
The Wandering Hearts achieved
their second consecutive #1 on the UK official Americana Chart as 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.
Arriving to a second
wave of critical acclaim and again championed by Bob Harris at BBC
Radio 2 (who previously awarded them his Breakthrough Artist at the
UK Americana Awards), the album 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 only British act to
debut at both the iconic Ryman Theatre and The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in the same week, The Wandering
Hearts have shared stages and tours across the UK and US with artists such as
the late greats Tom Petty, John Prine and Justin Townes Earle, and Margo Price,
Lukas Nelson, Robert Plant and Eagles.
Signed to Chrysalis
Records for their third album, the band have had a busy 2023 with standout
performances at SXSW in Austin, Black Deer Festival, and a 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
flavour of their forthcoming album (due 2024). The new material puts sharp
focus on their world-renowned three-part harmonies to explore their Folk-Rock
influences, blending flavours that bring to mind Simon & Garfunkel,
Fleetwood Mac and contemporaries like Milk Carton Kids and First Aid Kit.

ABOUT The Wandering Hearts:
At
the start of 2017 Decca hosted a London showcase for several of their
impressive new signings and the then British folk-Americana quartet (Chess Whiffin, AJ
Dean, Tara Wilcox and Tim Prottey-Jones who left the band) immediately
stood out for them. They were discovered
within half-an-hour of uploading their first demo online, then signed up
shortly afterwards by the label. It’s easy to understand why on their glorious
debut single, Wish
I Could
(released May 5, 2017).
Their
music has been described as a British twist on everything you love about the
classic Fleetwood Mac sound, with folk and country influences from the likes of
First Aid Kit, The Lumineers and Chris Stapleton in their too, plus some of the
finest harmonies of any emerging act that you’ll have heard in years.
With their blissful three-part harmonies and blend of folk, country, and
Americana influences, The Wandering Hearts are breathing new life into roots
music. The UK trio of Chess Whiffin, AJ Dean, and Tara Wilcox emerged in 2017
with their acclaimed debut album WILD SILENCE, which hit #1 on the UK
Americana chart, debuted at No.1 on the Official
UK Country Album Top 20 (Week Ending 22 Feb 2018) and made a debut at No.85 on
the Official UK Top 100 Albums Chart with estimated sales of 1,000 copies.
As they
worked on their second album, the group -- reduced to a trio with the departure
of Prottey-Jones -- continued performing, including the C2C Country to Country
festival at the O2 in London, CMA Fest in Nashville.
Their self-titled 2021 follow-up continued their success, earning more
praise from critics and another Americana #1.
The band has toured
extensively, supporting legends like Tom Petty and Robert Plant while making
history as the only British act to debut at the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole
Opry in the same week.
Their soulful take on the folk-rock trio earned The
Wandering Hearts nominations for UK Americana Awards Album of the Year.
At the UK Americana Awards
2018
they snagged the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award.
At the British
Country Music Awards for 2018 they won UK Album of the Year for WILD
SILENCE and a year later won Group of
the Year at the BCMA 2019 Awards.
After signing to Chrysalis Records, 2023 brought more milestones like
standout SXSW and Black Deer Festival sets as they gear up for their eagerly
awaited third album.
