Will Wilde Brings Blues Rock

Will Wilde's debut album Unleashed, released in 2010, marked the beginning of his journey in blues rock music. With a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson, Wilde's hard-edged harmonica playing steals the spotlight from traditional blues rock guitar.

Wilde's origins in Brighton played a significant role in his discovery of the harmonica, which he found at a house party at the age of 16. He then spent a year teaching himself to play by listening to Muddy Waters records for hours on end. This dedication to his craft has led to the release of four studio albums and one live album, including Raw Blues, Live In Hamburg, Bring It On Home, and Bad Luck Friday.

On Wednesday, 11 November 2026, Will Wilde will perform at Komedia Brighton, Brighton. Tickets are on sale: say tickets are with the button beside the article. With his unique sound and innovative approach to the harmonica, this is an event not to be missed. Wilde's music has reached number five on the Official UK Jazz and Blues Chart, and he has been named Instrumentalist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2026, a testament to his skill and dedication to his craft.
