The Wildwoods, Jake Rozier

Gentleness can sometimes be a hard sell when it comes to live music. Nobody’s ever said, “Oh man, I’m so hyped to go check out this concert — the band is gentle AF!” But there is a grace to soothing shows, and the Wildwoods’ stop at the Chameleon should be one such instance. The Nebraska folk trio — which consists of married duo Chloe (lead vocals/violin) and Noah Gose (guitar) and bassist Andrew Vaggalis — peddle in soft melodies and radiant vocal harmonizing that welcome listeners into their gentle and caring sonic arms. Tunes like “West Virginia Rain” sway with the loving casualness of a Sunday afternoon front porch jam. The Wildwoods don’t rock your socks off, rather they metaphorically give you an even cozier pair of socks to put on while you curl up to take in the warmth of their audio hearth.
