Will Wilde is a force to be reckoned with - a phenomenal harmonica player with a voice to match.
Will's intense harmonica style steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson. "I’m always looking to make new sounds with the harmonica, pushing its boundaries, trying to change people’s perception of it.” In fact Will has gone one step further and created his own signature "Wilde Tuned" harmonicas so he can play licks that weren’t possible before. “They enable me to hold my own with any blues rock guitarist”.
Will gained popularity on Youtube with his mind blowing harmonica covers of classic rock guitar solos, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird, which racked up over 3.5 million views, and helped him gain his 94K+ subscribers. These videos brought him to the attention of blues rock guitar legend Walter Trout, who invited him to play on his album 'Broken', which went to number one on the Billboard Blues Album Chart.
Will has released four studio albums and one live album: Unleashed (2010), Raw Blues (2013), Live In Hamburg (2015), Bring It On Home (2018) and Bad Luck Friday (2022), as well as appearing as a guest harmonica player on albums by Walter Trout, Toby Lee, Brave Rival, Earl Thomas and Krissy Matthews.
Will was nominated "Instrumentalist of the Year" in the UK Blues Awards 2024.
"One of the best blues harp players anywhere!" (Walter Trout)
"The Hendrix of the Harmonica" (Thomas Ruf- Ruf Records)
"He takes the harmonica to another dimension" (Paul Lamb)

Brave Rival
Brave Rival are a rock band on a mission. No gimmicks, no frills—just raw, high-energy, riff-driven rock that demands to be heard. Since forming in 2019, the Portsmouth-based quartet—vocalist Lindsey Bonnick, guitarist Ed ‘the Shred’ Clarke, bassist Billy Dedman, and drummer Donna Peters—have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most electrifying live acts.
Their debut album Life’s Machine (2022) put them on the map, catching the attention of critics, fans, and even Joe Bonamassa, who called them one of his “favourite discoveries.” Their 2024 follow-up, Fight or Flight, upped the stakes, earning a 9/10 review from Classic Rock Magazine, who hailed it as “an album packed with ambition, fire, and killer songs.”
With massive hooks, blistering guitar work, and unstoppable energy, the album set the stage for their biggest year yet—festivals, headline tours, and sharing stages with rock legends like FM.
Brave Rival are only getting started. Get on board or get out of the way.
