Wild Rivers played to a sold out Fonda Theatre on Friday night and had the audience mesmerized and buzzing with excitement the entire night. From beautiful acoustic heartbreak to upbeat dance to tearjerking love songs – and genuine, amusing commentary between songs – the Wild Rivers trio made every audience member feel loved and connected.
The Canadian band from Toronto played both new songs and classics, featuring their signature folk-pop melodies and heartfelt lyrics, all of which were well-loved and received with enthusiasm. The night wrapped with the most intimate stripped-down, unamplified encore with the trio perched atop a surprise alcove, allowing the acoustics of the room to take over. The night was refreshing and energizing, with the band members’ chemistry, harmonies that soared, and moments of genuine connection with the crowd. It was a beautiful show, no one wanted the evening to come to a close, and the audience is already awaiting Wild Rivers’ next visit.
