“‘I Won’t Be Back’ is a folk-tinged scorcher…sounding as fiery and definitive in its message as its name would imply.” – PopMatters
“…a gorgeous little gem with some seriously haunting melodies.” – Fuzzy Logic
“…so lovely and unique that it seems as though everyone who listens to them becomes an instant fan.” – The Aquarian
Wild Rivers – the finest purveyors of “Folk ‘n Roll and Country Soul” – have just announced that they will be hitting the road this fall with Australia’s The Paper Kites, following a summer trek across America. Running on the strength of the recently released Eighty-Eight EP, Wild Rivers’ live shows are an intoxicating, all-in family affair, making it impossible not to leave the room smiling.
