The Wild Reeds are an American indie band based in Los Angeles, California.
The founding members of the Wild Reeds were its three multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters, Mackenzie Howe, Kinsey Lee and Sharon Silva. [1] They first met as concertgoers at the West Hollywood club the Troubadour when they were students: Howe and Silva at Azusa Pacific University, and Lee at Glendora's Citrus College. [1] Each of them had already begun to perform as amateur solo artists at open-mic events and at college parties. [1] Their friendship led to their supporting one another as backing singers. [1] They began working together as a trio in 2009, after the idea was suggested to them by someone who had enjoyed their performance at a charitable fundraiser. [1] They were subsequently joined by the bassist Nick Phakpiseth and the drummer Nicholas Jones. [1] Their songs span the genres of alt-country, folk, experimental pop and indie-rock, and are characterized by what has been described as "ethereal" vocal harmonizing and an essentially hopeful nature. [1]
The Wild Reeds released their first full-length album, the self-published Blind and Brave, on August 9, 2014. [2] [3] Their second, Dualtone Records' The World We Built, followed on April 7, 2017, [4] [5] [6] [7] and their third, Cheers, again via Dualtone, on March 8, 2019. [8] [9]
