About the Band

With an infectious, free-spirit energy that blends soulful, roots-rock and folk music with pop sensibilities, Wishgarden embodies nostalgia, intricacy and modern flair. The group of masterful performers delivers an engaging performance enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

The effervescent showmen (and woman) infuse creative, melodic structures with dynamic, foot-stomping, dance rhythms (revved by kickin’ electric guitar, flute, sax, trombone and Djembe highlights), and crystal-clear storylines complemented by vibrant harmonies.

The seven-piece band made up of accomplished musicians and extraordinary vocalists writes and performs original tunes that intertwine tradition with innovation. The band bridges music eras with feel-good vibes as a neotraditional page-turn back to early Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Jimmy Buffet and The Mamas & The Papas while seamlessly integrating contemporary stylistic elements of artists such as Lord Huron and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.

The Wishgarden cinematic music video, “In 50 Years,” has been recognized by various film organizations, including being named “Best Music Video” (NY Film and Cinematography Awards), receiving a “Gold” award (International Independent Film Awards) and “Silver Medal” (Outstanding Achievement) Global Music Awards (2025).

Performing at a variety of summer concert series and festivals, art museums and amphitheaters, Wishgarden tours nearly 50 dates per year.
