Review for Wild Blue Yonder:
Wild Blue Yonder shows deliver a powerful punch with spicy twin fiddles, smoking' mandolin, groovy percussion and guitar, while their onstage humor lends a warm, folksy quality. The "almost all-girl" band serves up an acoustic blend of Americana music with alt country edges. Evocative original songs mix with old-time mountain tunes, high energy delivery and versatile instrumentation for a crowd-pleasing stage show.
Chattnooga is one of the few Tennessee stops on Wild Blue Yonder's summer tour, which has led them from Lexington, Ky. to numerous venues in North Carolina. The group is currently previewing music on a new CD of all original music due out next year. Their Charles & Myrtle's appearance will feature many songs from their highly acclaimed "Above & Beyond" release.
Wild Blue Yonder was born in 2001 as a "newgrass" band from the acoustic leanings of veteran East Tennessee bandleaders/songwriters Melissa Wade and Philip Coward. Since then they have produced two well-received indie CDs, scored a regional hit with a roadkill anthem, dropped the banjo, thrown in some congas and broken new ground in the Americana realm.
