Wilde Green on Local Music Somewhere
Band Bio
In just under a year of forming, Wilde Green has taken Charlotte by a bit of a surprise. The Charlotte indie band has played to almost every room in town, bringing out crowds to The Visulite, Snug Harbor, The Milestone Club, The Evening Muse, Petra’s, Tommy’s Pub and the Stage Door Theater. In Oct. 2024, Wilde Green proudly played Charlotte’s Confluence Conference to a very receptive crowd.
The band formed in early 2024 through the inspirational songs and sounds heard on Kevin Terrell’s most recent solo album entitled “Idyll Mind.” Terrell brought together a talented, like-minded and passionate group of seasoned musicians to bring to fruition the visionary essence of his songwriting. With Shawn Lynch on lead guitar, Adam Roth on bass and Pete Oram on drums, Wilde Green are an imaginatively influenced and influential presence whose distinctive sound and sonically driven style bring to life the lyrical and idyllic visions of Terrell’s songs. Their collectively sourced inspiration is a kindling of genres from the 60’s on through the 90’s. From The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who and The Rolling Stones, there in also emerges a notable pop and psychedelic sensibility that channels the 60’s garage bands of obscure fame likening to The Creation and The Smoke. With hints of 70’s glam of Bowie and Bolan and playful power pop of 70’s punk bands like Flamin’ Groovies, all nestled among the melancholic 80’s sounds of The Smiths’ (more Marr than Morrissey), the beat driven pop of The Stone Roses, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and a touch of that shoegaze dreaminess of Ride and Spacemen 3, their sound is an entanglement of intrigue.
