🎶 Live at The Wooden Handle: Wildered (July 18)
📍 West Rock Wake Park – 1420 S. Pierpont Ave, Rockford, IL
🕕 Friday, July 18 | 6:30–8:30 PM
🎟 Free | All Ages | Outdoor Event
Live at The Wooden Handle continues with an unforgettable evening of genre-blending, heart-forward indie folk from the rising collaborative project Wildered.
Led by Milwaukee-based songwriter Nate Bjorge, Wildered fuses ambient folk with experimental textures, delivering music that’s as emotionally rich as it is sonically adventurous. Their 2023 debut album Emezov took listeners on a mythical, cinematic journey — earning them opening slots with Judah & The Lion and Sam Tinnesz and a growing fanbase across the Midwest.
Wildered’s live show features lush vocals, layered instrumentation, and immersive arrangements that evolve in real time — perfect for a lakeside summer night. Whether stripped-back and acoustic or pulsing with electric grooves, their sound is rooted in lyrical depth and creative exploration.
