The folksy quartet features the exquisite vocals and harmonies of Khalid Yassein<\/strong> and Devan Glover<\/strong>, as well as the cohesive and soothing instrumentals of Andrew Oliver <\/strong>(bass, guitar) and Ben Labenski <\/strong>(drums).<\/p>\n

Yassein and Glover have a romantic back and forth that allows them both to flourish and showcase their rich and mournful vocals. As Glover said in an interview with The Bluegrass Situation<\/a>, coming from Toronto they experience \u201cthe extremes of each season.\u201d As a result, the distinctiveness allows the band to draw inspiration from the changing world around them.<\/p>\n

Glover added: \u201cI think this definitely informs my songwriting, as it creates a sort of nostalgia associated with each season. I know I definitely write more sad songs in the winter when I\u2019m longing for a little sun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wild Rivers isn\u2019t just a lovely band name, but also a call to be in nature. And with the folksy strums of the guitar, the harmonies, and the occasional twinge of the violin, it\u2019s easy to lose yourself in the music and be transported to the woods.<\/p>\n

Wild Rivers is gearing up to release a sophomore album this summer as a follow-up to their highly successful self-titled debut album, which was released in 2016. <\/p>\n
