Hank Wonder - Waylaid (2021)

Somewhere on the musical map, where the twang of Classic Country meets the grit of Southern Soul, Hank Wonder marks a detour down a sonic stretch of unpaved road. Back in 2013, the Boston-based trio of Annie Bartlett (fiddle and viola), Darren Buck (vocals), and Michael Loria (guitar) set off on a journey to craft a soulful blend of Americana that's equal parts down home and gussied up.

Two years after the 2017 release of their debut album "Little Mysteries", the band entered Q Division Studios in Somerville, Massachusetts to record its follow-up. Initially stalled by a global pandemic, sessions with producer and multi-instrumentalist Zachariah Hickman (Josh Ritter, Ray LaMontagne. Mark Erelli, Barnstar!) resumed in February 2021. "Waylaid" will be released on June 11, 2021.
