While playing both fan favourites and some stellar new tracks, Wild Rivers captured the audience’s attention “like a fish on a hook”. I knew immediately that this was a band I had to see live, and after witnessing their killer performance on Friday, I am so glad that I did. Upon first hearing their song “Already Gone” and discovering their soothing, yet upbeat indie sound, I was hooked. The venue was packed for a sold out show and I could tell everyone in the room was just as excited for Toronto’s very own Wild Rivers to take the stage as I was. The crowd at Adelaide hall was buzzing late Friday night. We’re excited to continue exploring this sound towards uncharted territory.” - PopMatters It showcases a refreshing new take on Wild Rivers, featuring more energy than ever before. ‘Do Right’ is a song that displays growth from our folk roots, along with experiences we’ve encountered as a group over the last year.
After months of touring our debut album, we were inspired to explore new areas of our music: developing a larger, richer sound while still focusing on vocal harmonies and thoughtful lyrics. Wild Rivers says, “Though we only released our debut album ten months ago, we wanted to release something new to represent our growth and development as people, musicians, and a band. Well, Nashville the city can’t have this band as Canada has a proud Canadiana tradition and Wild Rivers are waving that flag high. If Nashville the show featured music like this, more people might still be watching it. Witness “Do Right”, an earworm of a folk-pop tune with a hit-single chorus. But Wild River is no tribute or retro act as their music feels completely contemporary and fresh.
Building out their indie folk sound to a band, the duo added Ben Labenski (drums) and Andrew Oliver (bass, guitar) and now Wild Rivers inhabit folk rock perfectly, their Fleetwood Mac influences worn proudly on their sleeves. Toronto’s Wild Rivers began life as folk duo Devan & Khalid, named for Devan Glover and Khalid Yassein, two fabulous singers who harmonize perfectly like two people born to perform together.
