Bio

The WIYOS have spent over 6 years touring the US and Europe. They draw from a vast spectrum of traditional American rural and urban roots music, crafting their own startlingly fresh yet strangely familiar sound. They have recently been featured in the BBC film documentary Folk America, toured as the openers for the 2009 Bob Dylan Show summer tour, and released the internationally acclaimed full-length album, Broken Land Bell
