The Wildes Irish Music

Welcome!

“The Wildes” are John and Cathy Wilde, a husband and wife duet who specialize in Irish Folk Music in the Western New York area. 

 

“The Wildes” feature tight harmonies and wide ranging vocal abilities with high energy acoustic guitar, tin whistle and various percussion instruments specifically the bodhran.  The Wildes entertain their audiences musically and connect with them personally. 

 

We perform over 100 songs including Irish songs of rebellion and peace, classic heartfelt ballads, contemporary Irish folk tunes and the always enjoyable Irish drinking songs. 

 

“The Wildes” occassionally perform as a trio, having added Matt Schroeder, a guitarist and vocalist from the Buffalo area.  Matt brings his superior musicianship and well traveled experience to enhance our sound and musical variety.

The Wildes’ many musical influences include Tommy Makem, The Clancey Brothers, Mary Black, Danny Doyle and The Dady Brothers.  We hope to add our own personal imprint to the grand tradition of Irish music.
