WYLDER

Musical group Wylder is known for writing rhythmic, lyrically-driven indie-folk with a penchant for foreboding storytelling about family and loss.  First formed in Virginia by singer/guitarist Will McCarry, the group quickly grew to include Lonnie Southall on guitar/mandolin, Mike Pingley on drums, and Jackson Wright on bass/piano.  Their debut album, Rain and Laura, caught the attention of Train’s Pat Monahan. He premiered their last two singles “Bitter” and “Save a Way” on his Sirius XM program Train Tracks, kicking off a successful run on stations around the country. In 2018, the band performed aboard floating music festival The Rock Boat XVIII, alongside Need to Breathe, Barenaked Ladies and Sister Hazel.

DIANE DALY

Diane Daly is a vocalist of moody contrasts and evocative depth. Certainly one who cannot be easily pigeonholed into one particular style, Diane has spent her career exploring a world of music from the strictest classical solos to avant-garde cabaret. Over the years, Diane developed a style and delivery of jazz and blues that is all her own. She has been fortunate to share the stage with such notable musicians as Keter Betts, Paul Carr, Wade Beach, and Benjie Porecki, to name a few. The deep emotional connection Diane has with music is apparent from the opening notes, captivating her audience with a sound that emanates straight from the heart.
