Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes emerged in 2009 with highly praised debut album "Ballad of a Young Married Man".
Now a decade in (with four acclaimed records under their belt and a bunch of awards including The Music Victoria Best Country album and a Golden Guitar for Best Alt-country Album), original members Lachlan and bassist Shaun Ryan are joined by producer/drummer Damian Cafarella (who’s been with the band since third album The Mountain) and new kid Riley Catherall on guitar.
They’ve toured both Europe and the USA in each of the past four years, recently selling out an entire headline European tour. Lachlan and the band have opened for the likes of John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Lord Huron, Joan Armatrading, Joe Pug and The North Mississippi Allstars and at home have become firm favourites at venues like Melbourne’s Caravan Music Club and Sydney’s Sly Fox.
In the first half of 2020, Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes will release their fifth studio album. Amongst a slew of self-penned tracks, the album contains co-writes with the likes of Tim Rogers, Henry Wagons, Ruby Boots and Lachlan’s American tour-buddy Amelia White.
