Your Next Favorite Band

Wila Frank - Your Next Favorite Band

Stereophilia.Studio Season 7 Episode 107

This week we are joined by Nashville-based singer/songwriter Wila Frank - a hot, up-and-coming artist with a knack for taking the styles from her youth playing folk/americana music to a more alt-pop sound, all while making impossible sounds possible.

With music often referred to as "cinematic", "introspective" and many other superlatives, I just like to say its incredible, and you're going to love it.

Growing up on a farm in a rural bohemian town in Oregon (we'll get more detail on what that's like), she learned how to play the fiddle at the age for 4 (fueled by a little sibling rivalry) but didn't stop there, picking up the piano, mandolin, cello and guitar.  She began songwriting at the  age of 12 following the tragic loss of her father, which helped her cope and move through the grieving process.

Now in Nashville, she released one of our favorite records last year: Black Cloud, and her hit "Tonight" made our Your Next Favorite Song for 2023 Spotify playlist.  She is set to release new music this year as well, so we'll dive in to that and she'll even play some of it live for us during the interview.

Be sure to check out her music and tune in for the interview!
