Wild Roots Rising live at Americana Hour hosted by Eli Waltz

Wild Roots Rising is an indie folk band based in the Southeast United States. It is led by songwriters, vocalists, and instrumentalists Julia Houghton and Olivia Moore.

Their music is described as a classical-folk fusion; unique arrangements and complex harmonies, combined with acoustic instruments and meaningful lyrics. They are known for sharing songs that create a beautiful, uplifting aura for the listener.

WRR released their self-titled, debut album in September of 2021 and have been performing at festivals, music venues, and bars throughout the southeast. They are very excited to share their music with the public.

Enviornmentalism and social justice activism are deeply important to Olivia and Julia, and these themes present themselves in the music. They create a space on stage to share, think, and talk about current issues. Together they bring strong intentions to create a positive change in the world, and to stay true to themselves in the work.
