Wilder Woods: The Fever / Sky Tour

Wilder Woods: The Fever / Sky Tour

With his brilliant self-titled debut, Wilder Woods, also known to many as Bear Rinehart, is doing precisely that. A timeless blend of classic soul, infectious R&B, and modern pop, the record captures the sound of a veteran songwriter confdently breaking new ground, blazing his own distinctive trail through uncharted territory with comfort and style. Simultaneously vulnerable and self-assured, the songs refect both the rich well of experience from which they’re drawn and the bold leap that they represent, pairing intimate, introspective lyricism with effortless swagger and monster hooks. Wilder Woods is a new side of Rinehart, but one that he’s more than ready to share. Drawing the inspiration for his new musical moniker from his two sons, Wilder Rinehart and Woods Rinehart, Wilder Woods knew he couldn’t expect his sons to see the value in taking bold, potentially life changing chances if he wasn’t willing to do it himself. So, foregoing the comfort and security he’d built across a storied career in music thus far, he set about building a brand new sound from the ground up, one that was refned yet approachable, sophisticated yet raw, modern yet classic. He crafted songs with a series of collaborators in Nashville (where he and his family would soon move full time) and teamed up with rising producer Gabe Simon, whose indie pop approach proved to be the perfect counterweight to his own old school sensibilities.
