But Wild Child were able to channel that uncertainty and helplessness into an addictively catchy anthem for the current world we are living in\, in the process creating one of the best songs the band has ever recorded. \nWild Child is the Austin-born songwriting partnership of Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins\, a duo whose chemistry has powered more than a decade of acclaimed indie-folk releases and spirited live shows. What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin’s most beloved bands\, known for warm harmonies\, candid storytelling\, and an ever-evolving blend of folk\, pop\, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects – Wilson’s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins’ dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi – the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space\, unsure when or how Wild Child might return. \nThat return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark\, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together\, preparing for online performances\, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes\, new material poured out – an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings\, capturing raw\, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection. \nWild Child’s creative community has always been central to their story – whether weathering a Texas ice storm together\, writing by candlelight when power went out\, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years\, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience\, connection\, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most. \nToday\, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba’s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids\, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms\, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape\, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning.

After five albums and countless miles on the road\, they’ve turned a long-running dream into their newest adventure – a playful\, joy-filled children’s album for the fans who’ve been with them from the start and the little ones they’re now raising. Packed with silly\, dance-worthy songs and heartfelt harmonies\, it’s a love letter to friends big and small. \nThe album\, Wild Child for Kids\, bursts with playful\, heartfelt tracks: Feelings — gentle guide to naming and embracing emotions; Animals — jungle-to-ocean romp through real and imagined worlds; Dinosaur Jetpack — joyous\, giggle-inducing adventure born from a studio jam; Plus: Fabulous\, Things We Love\, Memory Lane\, Rain or Sunshine\, fresh takes on ABCs (feat.

Formed just four years ago\, Residual Groove is anchored by brothers Previn Edwards (guitar\, vocals) and Kiran Edwards (keyboards\, vocals)\, whose collaborative chemistry shapes the band’s melodic and harmonic identity\, and is rounded out by Ryan Berry (bass\, backing vocals)\, Adam Finkelstein (drums\, backing vocals)\, and Garrett Halstead (percussion)\, who together lay down a rhythm section that is both precise and exploratory\, equally capable of deep\, entrancing grooves and sudden lift-offs. \nWhile the live show experience is a central pillar of the band’s identity\, Residual Groove places equal emphasis on studio work and intentional songwriting. Their songs are meticulously shaped\, lyrically resonant\, and designed to reward repeat listening without sacrificing the immediacy of their live experience.

She embraces the full range of her influences with “EGO TRIP\,” a genre-bending EP stacked high with alt-rock guitars\, pop hooks\, swooning keyboards\, and the sharp songwriting of a lifelong storyteller. Inspired by the sudden collapse of a college romance\, “EGO TRIP” finds room for anger\, liberation\, and healing\, with Amelia nodding not only to the folk music she discovered as a child in the Pacific Northwest\, but also the electrifying empowerment of her favorite 1990s frontwomen. The result is a collection of melody-driven songs that breathe new life into classic sounds\, largely written in her adopted hometown of Nashville and recorded at Bear Creek Studio in her home state of Washington. With “EGO TRIP\,” Amelia Day creates her own geography. \n“It’s at once precisely curated\, each note and lyric accounted for\, and eagerly committed to the maximalist extremes of whatever genre’s playground she’s found herself in.” – Washington Post \n“Gracing Spotify playlists with titles like ‘Narnia vibes for reading\,’ ‘goblin core’ and ‘sapphic songs for your talking stages\,’ Day’s music is upfront about what it is: honest and relatable storytelling.” – Inlander \n“Her lyricism has done some shifting\, too. Although Day still writes about love\, heartbreak and the many variables of a romantic relationship\, she has found herself writing about journeying into adulthood\, climate change\, omniscient perspectives and more. Day has also acquired a story-telling style featuring wordplay\, double-meanings and rhythmic variations.” – Spokesman-Review \n“Embracing honesty and staying true to herself throughout these challenges has given her songs a rawness that resonates strongly with listeners — both lyrically and musically.” — Northwest Noise Magazine \n“Day’s set was energetic\, emotional and full of fun\, just like all of her music. Wherever Amelia Day’s musical journey takes her next\, I’m excited to be a fan along for the ride.” – Vanderbilt Hustler URL:https://westportjournal.com/events/amelia-day-free-show/ LOCATION:Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts\, 40 Jesup Road\, Westport\, Connecticut\, 06880\, United States CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://westportjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/AMELIA-DAY-1185.png ORGANIZER;CN="Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts":MAILTO:TheLevittPavilion@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260726T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260726T170000 DTSTAMP:20260613T204902 CREATED:20260503T131859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260531T180735Z UID:10003248-1785078000-1785085200@westportjournal.com SUMMARY:Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd DESCRIPTION:July 14 – August 1 – A masterfully twisted tale of deception and suspense.

Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski - FREE SHOW DESCRIPTION:On a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington\, Vermont in December of 2018\, three musical masters—Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski—came together with alchemical synthesis\, and created a fresh\, so-tight-it’s-free sound\, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring\, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members’ surname\, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP. \nMetzger\, described by The Village Voice as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles\,” and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo’s Almost Dead\, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. It resulted in seven tracks crackling with energy and soul. The melodic and harmonic interplay between Paczkowski’s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger’s acrobatic melodies on telecaster\, driven by Lawton’s unflappable backbeat\, produced a record that will stand the test of time. Ever since—as the three members busy schedules have allowed—LaMP has prioritized bringing the music to the people with shows across the East Coast. As word has spread and the crowds have grown with each subsequent tour\, it’s become clear that LaMP will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.
