The full potential of WMOT’s new Riverside Revival radio and video studio is coming into focus. Wired In has been doing its monthly thing in the main hall - a former church sanctuary turned lovely venue - since late 2022. Now our team has launched a new Wired In Sessions series capturing intimate backstage performances by the outstanding artists who join us for our coveted members' shows in the big room. Now on video, short sets by Jeremie Albino, Olivia Wolf, and Them Coulee Boys.
Albino has seen his star rise since the late 2024 release of Time In The Sun, his third album and first with the Dan Auerbach team for Easy Eye Records. It’s easy to see what Auerbach heard in the rough and ready music of this still young Toronto troubadour. He’s got early rock and roll and rustic blues in his weary voice, and he writes sharp edged songs, like the ones he performs here: “Rolling Down The 405,” “I Don’t Mind Waiting,” and “So Many Ways To Say I Love You.”
Olivia Wolf packed her band the Lost Boys on to WMOT’s cozy stage to perform songs from her acclaimed debut recording Silver Rounds. The California native is a bit of a late bloomer, but the quick success of her dark country music feels well earned. You’ll hear “Lucky One,” “The Veil,” and her Americana charting hit “Cosmic Appalachian Radio.”
More than a decade ago, small town guys from rural Wisconsin met at a Christian camp and found personal and musical chemistry that took full form as Them Coulee Boys, after the Wisconsin word for river valley. They’re folky and easy going, but lead songwriter Soren Staff is more than willing to dig into life’s puzzles and prospects, as on their newest release No Fun In The Chrysalis. Here, Soren is joined by banjo player Beau Janke for minimalist arrangements of “Harvey & Margie” and “Change Etc.”
