The Wild Hymns invite listeners into a rich sonic world shaped by lush harmonies, introspective lyrics, magnetic rhythms, and nuanced musical arrangements. Rooted in Central Pennsylvania, the core duo—Megan Woodland and Jeff Hewitt—along with their ensemble, blend folk-pop, art-rock, and Americana into a genre-defying tapestry of sound.
Since their formation in 2014, The Wild Hymns have released four full-length albums independently and toured both nationally and internationally, performing as a duo and with a full band. Along the way, they've cultivated a loyal following drawn to their dreamy, poetic aesthetic.
