Beau James Wilding - Here There Be Dragons (2024) [Hi-Res]

Beau James Wilding is a solo artist from the south-central coast of California with a wide range of influences, including punk, blues, jazz and Irish Traditional Music. He has been playing guitar and writing songs since the age of fifteen. Beau’s intense emotional relationship with music was deepened after a disease left him “legally blind” at the age of eighteen on a backpacking trip through Europe. His lyrics are often introspective and explore themes of personal development, the immediacy of our one precious life and longing for connection relayed through a sometimes strange, sometimes dark and dreamy landscape of sound. Performances by Beau and his band are high-energy, emotionally-charged experiences. Beau has recently begun to experiment with drone as a tool in his music, inspired in part by the Indian tradition and the bladder-based instrumentation of Western Europe. The continuous hum of electric guitar feedback or the grind of the Shruti Box illustrate a continuum of sound, of life and concept that expands in all directions while simultaneously staying firmly rooted in one unbroken tone. An EP is scheduled for release in late May, 2024. Beau and his band play regularly in Southern California and will tour Ireland in August of 2024. Hope to see you out there on the road!
