The Wild Feathers emerged from Nashville with a genre-defining blend of Americana, Southern rock, and heartland soul that channels the spirit of Petty, Dylan, and The Band. Formed by Ricky Young, Joel King, and Taylor Burns, the group built their sound around rich harmonies and roots-driven storytelling. Their self-titled debut album topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart and featured the breakout single “The Ceiling,” followed by acclaimed releases like Lonely Is a Lifetime, Greetings from the Neon Frontier, and Alvarado. Their latest album Sirens (2024) showcases a matured sound with tracks like “Don’t Know” and “Pretending,” blending surf-punk energy with piano ballad intimacy.
Known for their electrifying live performances, The Wild Feathers have toured extensively across the U.S., sharing stages with legends like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Gary Clark Jr. Their sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium, captured on Live at the Ryman, cemented their reputation as one of Nashville’s most compelling live acts. Festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and AmericanaFest have showcased their commanding stage presence and genre-blending setlists that resonate with fans across generations.
Currently touring in support of Sirens, The Wild Feathers continue to evolve while staying true to their roots. With a loyal fanbase and a catalog of emotionally rich, road-worn anthems, they remain a cultural force in modern Americana and Southern rock.
