Biography
The Wandering Hearts achieved their second consecutive #1 on the UK’s official Americana charts as they built upon the breakthrough success of 2018’s ‘Wild Silence’ debut with last summer’s self-titled second album. Arriving to another wave of critical acclaim and again championed by Bob Harris at Radio 2, the album cemented the trio’s reputation as one of the leading lights of the British folk/Americana scenes – as underlined by their nomination for UK Album of the Year at the UK Americana Awards 2022.
The band built on their pre-pandemic momentum with breakout shows at SXSW 2023, a summer 2023 tour with Jack Savoretti, prominence at Black Deer Festival, and an appearance at AmericanaFest in Nashville in September 2023.
