“Vagabond Child is about having freedom and adventure, not letting anyone tie you down or hold you back” Wilde explains, “I’d been listening to Jeff Buckley and Sue Foley [who Wilde toured with back in 2008] when I wrote this, and both of them influenced my songwriting here.”
British Blues Award winner Dani Wilde burst onto the International blues scene in 2007, opening for Jools Holland as a special guest of Christopher Holland’s band, at London’s Royal Albert Hall. That same year she signed to prestigious blues record label Ruf Records.
“She releases a sort of diesel roar from her throat, pierced with little darts of high falsetto. It is like two voices. She sings the twelve bar blues - whooping and slurring like an old boy from the Delta. The place goes mad, as if it can’t quite believe what it’s heard.” — Alan Franks, The Times Magazine
Since then, Wilde has toured extensively (playing up to 250 concerts a year) across the UK, Europe, America, Canada and Africa, charting in the blues charts and country charts in Europe. USA concerts have included headline shows under her own name, and performances with girl group “Girls With Guitars” alongside Samantha Fish and Cassie Taylor. The group’s 2012 record, produced by Mike Zito in Berlin, was a hit in Europe; the single ‘Bitch’ reaching the Number 1 spot in the iTunes blues charts in Italy.
In 2017, Dani signed with Vizztone Label Group to release a live in the studio album entitled “Live at Brighton Road”. Her single ‘Bumblebee’ reached over 4 million plays on Spotify. Since then her relationship with Vizztone has continued to thrive with further digital releases.
