A collection of players from Austin, Nashville and beyond, The Wild Feathers melds blues, folk, rock and country with a convertible cool and a captivating sense of soul that calls back to classic Skynyrd/CSNY flavors. This is no nostalgia act, however, as the four unique voices of Ricky Young, Joel King, Taylor Burns and Preston Wimberly create timeless melodies with a modern captivation through harmonies that set the soul ablaze.

For their eponymous 2013 debut, The Wild Feathers enlisted Jay Joyce (Cage the Elephant, the Wallflowers, Emmylou Harris) as producer, who pushed the band into an evolutionary excellence in his Nashville studio as they recorded the songs one at a time, mostly live to tape.
