“Harmony has been at the center of our musical experience and expression from the very beginning,” says mandolinist/singer Lincoln Mick. “Often, when we’re unsure of what to do next, we’ll say, ‘Let’s just all sing together.’ We’ve changed a lot as a band over the years, but harmony has always been the backbone of what we do, which has led us to create all these background vocals that not only support the lead, but have a life and character of their own.” This sense of harmony and hospitality has been central to The Arcadian Wild’s story from its earliest days.

In January 2020, Horn and Mick welcomed fiddler Bailey Warren into the band full-time. Visit: https://www.museumofmakingmusic.org/events/arcadian-wild The Arcadian Wild on Instagram / Facebook
