Will Wilde

Fresh from winning Instrumentalist of the Year?at the UK Blues Awards 2026, Will Wilde is one of the most exciting and original artists in modern blues rock. A force to be reckoned with, Wilde is a phenomenal harmonica player with a voice to match. His explosive, hard-edged harmonica style takes centre stage, replacing the traditional blues rock lead guitar with an electrifying sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson. Constantly pushing the boundaries of his instrument, Wilde has redefined what the harmonica can do. Wilde has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working and most exciting live performers on the UK blues circuit. He has toured extensively across Europe, sold out most UK headline shows in the last year and achieved his highly anticipated US debut?over the summer. His latest album, Blues Is Still Alive, which features blues legend Walter Trout, reached No. 1?on the IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) Chart?and No. 5?on the Official UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart. ?He's the best!??- Walter Trout ?"F**king badass!" - John Popper (Blues Traveler) ?Surely the finest harp man on the scene? - Blues In Britain ?Will Wilde ignites a new era for the genre?
