Artist description Wilderness are a solid Vocal/Instrumental trio playing Irish Music with a passion that can only come from a true love of Celtic music and culture. Wilderness have taken traditional folk songs from as long ago as the 1700’s and transformed them into modern Irish Folk/Folk-Rock pieces. To try and pigeon hole this trio could be a problem, as their style seems to appeal to Traditionalists and Contemporary folk devotees alike, without mentioning the fact that they play folk music in a rock style. Wilderness play to real Irish crowds and non Irish alike, with the same results. All you would have to do, to see the effect that this Trio have on their audiences, is to see how difficult it is for them to get away, at the end of the night. (even after playing several encores).Wilderness have influences from a wide variety of backgrounds and lifestyles, ranging from Scottish folk to Heavy Metal and from Country to Classical going through Folk, Swing, Blues and Punk on the way.When not actually out on the road Wilderness spend all their free time in the studio either Recording new albums or learning New Material. Wilderness take their show seriously and feel the need, to continually bring new songs to their venues with an average of four news songs being added each week, to the considerable repertoire that they have. Wilderness as said before, play to both Irish and Non Irish audiences alike and where required can provide a Night of Irish Rebel Music.Wilderness play songs from artists such as The Pogues, The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers, Goats Don’t Shave, Christy Moore, The Saw Doctors and The Waterboys along with a good mixture of traditional songs interspersed with some of their own material.The normal line up for Wilderness is Kenn Gordon (6 String Guitar, 12 String Guitar, Banjo, Omnichord, Bodhran Bass and Lead Vocals).
