On Thursday, Aug 6, Wild Child as part of the Levitt Pavilion 2026 Season
Wild Child has spent nearly sixteen years making music together, growing up side by side through life’s highs and lows. After five albums and countless miles on the road, they’ve turned a long-running dream into their newest adventure - a playful, joy-filled children’s album for the fans who’ve been with them from the start and the little ones they’re now raising. Packed with silly, dance-worthy songs and heartfelt harmonies, it’s a love letter to friends big and small.
The album, Wild Child for Kids, bursts with playful, heartfelt tracks: Feelings — gentle guide to naming and embracing emotions; Animals — jungle-to-ocean romp through real and imagined worlds; Dinosaur Jetpack — joyous, giggle-inducing adventure born from a studio jam; Plus: Fabulous, Things We Love, Memory Lane, Rain or Sunshine, fresh takes on ABCs (feat. Sir Woman’s Kelsey, Spice, Uncle Roy) and Twinkle Twinkle, closing with Lullaby.
Wild Child is the Austin-born songwriting partnership of Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins, a duo whose chemistry has powered more than a decade of acclaimed indie-folk releases and spirited live shows. What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin’s most beloved bands, known for warm harmonies, candid storytelling, and an ever-evolving blend of folk, pop, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects - Wilson’s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins’ dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi - the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space, unsure when or how Wild Child might return.
That return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together, preparing for online performances, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes, new material poured out - an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings, capturing raw, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection.
Wild Child’s creative community has always been central to their story - whether weathering a Texas ice storm together, writing by candlelight when power went out, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience, connection, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most.
Today, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba’s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning
