Take some bluegrass; add the harmonic style of the Beach Boys and the soul of The Band; mix in a cup or two of classic rock and sprinkle liberally with Bo Diddley. This musical recipe results in The Way Down Wanderers, a band that is roots-inspired and brimming with songs about America, nature, love and personal evolution. Their self-released album illusions distinguished their unique sound and scored them the number 1 spot in Rolling Stone Country’s 10 New Artists You Need to Know.
