The Rock Port Tourism Board is sponsoring a free concert at the Rock Port Farmers Market Saturday, June 3. The Wildwoods will perform at 10:30 a.m. at the Atchison County Memorial Building.

The Wildwoods are an enchanting Folk/Americana trio based in Lincoln, Nebraska, whose flowing songwriting tandem has been praised by Paste Magazine as “focused and charmingly human.” The Wildwoods’ delicate melodies and descriptive lyrics come from nature, love, experiences from the road, and growing up in Nebraska.

In 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2021, The Wildwoods were nominated by the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards as a top Americana/Folk artist in Nebraska, and in 2022, they were named “Best Band” by the Lincoln Journal Star’s Lincoln’s Choice Awards. The group’s musical momentum continued into 2022 with their single release, Thirteen Sailboats, in anticipation for the release of their new full-length LP, Foxfield St. John, released in February of 2023.

Comprised of husband and wife team Noah (guitar) and Chloe Gose (violin), as well as Andrew Vaggalis (bass), The Wildwoods draw inspiration from a wide range of influences including the styles of: Watchhouse, The Decemberists, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Nickel Creek, Joni Mitchell, and Gregory Alan Isakov. The folk/Americana trio work to harmoniously and delicately blend their voices to create a sound so nostalgic that you may find yourself dreaming and longing for those sweet memories from your former days.
